Ingredients

• 4 fillets filet de bar (sea bass)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the filet de bar fillets. Season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets, skin-side down, and sear for about 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon herb sauce. Finely chop the fresh parsley, fresh dill, and garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 6

Zest and juice the lemon, keeping them separate.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and dill to the saucepan. Stir in the capers and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and pour the lemon herb sauce over the fillets. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
