Ingredients

• 2 pieces sea bass fillets
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the sea bass fillets with paper towels. Place them in a baking dish and set aside.

Step 3

Juice the lemon, and zest half of it. Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the sea bass fillets, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Let them marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the white wine and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry.

Step 8

Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering wine and broth mixture. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Place the sea bass fillets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the sea bass from the oven and drizzle with the thickened lemon herb sauce before serving.
