Ingredients

• 4 pieces sea bass fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 piece lemon
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons thyme
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from half a lemon, minced garlic (crush the 3 garlic cloves), thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the sea bass fillets and let them marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 5

Wash and chop the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the zucchini into half-moons, cut the carrot into thin strips, and dice the red bell pepper. Place all the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables, season with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Spread the vegetables out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place the marinated sea bass fillets on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and lay one slice over each sea bass fillet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sea bass is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Plate the sea bass fillets with the roasted vegetables and garnish with additional fresh rosemary or thyme if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
