• 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 bunch Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Zest and juice the lemon, setting them aside separately.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, finely chopped parsley, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow baking dish. Pour the lemon herb mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 6

Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

While the fish is marinating, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and pit and slice the Kalamata olives.

Step 8

Scatter the cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and red onion around the fish in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the baked sea bass with the roasted vegetables, garnished with any remaining fresh herbs and additional lemon wedges, if desired.
