    Method

    • Simple Oven-Baked Sea Bass: Step-by-Step Method
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), ensuring full temperature before baking
    • Pat the sea bass fillets dry on both sides with paper towels
    • Place sea bass fillets skin-side down in a baking dish lined with parchment paper
    • Drizzle olive oil evenly over the sea bass fillets
    • Sprinkle minced garlic over the fillets, distributing it uniformly
    • Season fillets evenly with Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and salt
    • Pour white wine into the baking dish around the fish, not directly on top
    • Place lemon wedges next to the fish in the dish for aromatic roasting
    • Prepare fresh parsley by finely chopping the leaves (can be done in parallel with oven preheating)
    • Bake sea bass for 12-15 minutes or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork
    • Remove baked sea bass from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes in the dish
    • Plate by carefully lifting each fillet and placing on warmed serving plates
    • Spoon a bit of the pan juices over the top of each fillet for added moisture and flavor
    • Garnish instantly with chopped parsley for color and freshness
    • Serve immediately with the roasted lemon wedges on the plate for squeezing
