Ingredients

• 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 60 milliliters White wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Drizzle the sautéed onions with 1 tablespoon of honey, stirring to coat, and cook for another minute until lightly caramelized. If using white wine, deglaze the skillet by pouring it in and letting it reduce for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Lightly grease a baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Step 7

Arrange the sea bass fillets on top of the onions. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve the sea bass fillets over the softened onions, garnished with fresh thyme, if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
