How to Make Baked Sea Bass With Herbs And Lime

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Clean and scale one 1-pound sea bass fillet; remove fins. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
3. Make 4 diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or a combination), 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion.
5. Place the sea bass in an oiled roasting pan. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
6. Stuff the herb mixture into the slashes in the fish.
7. Cut 2 remaining limes into quarters and arrange around the fish in the roasting pan.
8. Season the fish and lime wedges generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
9. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
10. To check for doneness, gently flake a piece of fish at the thickest part; it should easily separate from the bone.
11. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
12. Serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over the fish. Garnish with roasted lime wedges or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
