Simple Oven-Baked Sea Bass

Description: 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!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sea bass (cleaned and scaled)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
• 2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 lemon wedges
• 1/3 cup white wine vinegar (optional) or 1/3 cup white wine (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450F°.
2. In a cup, mix garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place fish in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
4. Rub fish with oil mixture.
5. (Optional) Pour wine over fish.
6. Bake fish, uncovered, for 15 minutes; then sprinkle with parsley or Italian seasoning and continue to bake for 5 more minutes (or until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily).
7. Drizzle remaining pan juices over fish and garnish with lemon wedges.
8. Enjoy!
