Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the sea bass fillets with paper towels.
Step 3
Zest and juice the lemon. Reserve the juice for later use and mix the zest with grated garlic, minced parsley, and thyme in a small bowl.
Step 4
Brush a baking dish with olive oil and arrange the fillets in a single layer, skin-side down if the skin is still on the fillets.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Season the fillets with salt and pepper, then evenly spread the lemon-herb mixture over each fillet.
Step 7
Pour the lemon juice over the fish to add tang and moisture.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow the tops to lightly brown.
Step 10
Garnish with extra parsley or lemon slices, if desired, and serve immediately.
