Ingredients

• 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for mayonnaise)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (for mayonnaise)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice on both sides.

Step 3

Place the seasoned sea bass fillets on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the garlic mayonnaise. Mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them into a paste using a garlic press.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

Step 6

While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, until the mixture starts to thicken. Once it’s emulsified, you can add the oil in a thin stream.

Step 7

Stir in the salt and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed. Set the garlic mayonnaise aside.

Step 8

Once the sea bass is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the sea bass fillets warm, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by a dollop of garlic mayonnaise. Add a lemon wedge to each plate for extra freshness.

Step 10

Enjoy your Sea Bass with Garlic Mayonnaise as a flavorful and sophisticated meal!
