Simple Oven-Baked Sea Bass
"If you're looking for a simple recipe that really preserves the delicate flavor of sea bass, then I highly recommend you try this one. You can try this with other types of fish but my version used a Chilean sea bass. The original recipe came from SparkRecipes and this is my simplified version of it. Enjoy!"

Skin on or skin off? I have filets that have been cleaned and scaled and skin is still on.

The sea bass was amazing. I made this tonight during the big pandemic with frozen filets because that’s all I could find near me. I didn’t have white wine vinegar so I used a champagne vinegar instead and poured it on before applying the rub. It was pronounced by my partner as a restaurant quality meal and one of the best either of us has made this year.

Really, really delicious. I tweaked the recipe just a bit...using only half of the pepper and freshly picked garlic. Also, I poured wine into the dish after the first cooking period as I was adding the parsley. This created a beautiful sauce as the fish juices and wine reduced over the next few minutes.... -
Scrumdeliocious! My dinner at home felt like a 5 star restaurant. Sea bass is my absolute favorite fish and this recipe rivals some of the best I've ever had. It really was simple, easy and so tasty. I too added white wine to the fish and dish before the rub. I only cooked one fillet, so the amount of seasoning for the rub needed to be adjusted. Fresh parsley for the last 5 minutes and a little lemon at the finish sealed the deal. To complete my carb-free dish, I sautéed fresh spinach and added a half of avacado. I will definitely use the recipe again. For the one reviewer that gave this recipe one star... I don't know what you did, but you couldn't have followed this recipe. This sea bass was splendid! Thanks aMused chef for the recipe!

My new favorite fish recipe. Easy and delicious. I used fresh parsley instead of Italian seasoning, and inexpensive Chardonnay for the wine. Poured the extra liquid over the fish on the serving plate. Served with a Christmas salad with homemade Meyer lemon dressing and fresh sourdough bread- perfect. -
Hello from Ukraine! Sorry for my English, but this quick&simple recipe is wonderful! The meat of sea bass, wheach we have just baked with my girl, is very-very tender, non-fat and useful. I used white chardonnay from Chile according to optional recommendations of original recipe. We have just had great dinner! Respect to author of recipe!

I actually used fresh wild caught white sea bass. It makes this recipe pop! I wrote up how I caught it here if you're interested in trying it: https://castandspear.com/white-sea-bass/
