Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 fillets Black Sea Bass
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Fish spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the Black Sea Bass fillets in an oven-safe baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
  4. Let the fish marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, serve immediately with your choice of sides, and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish just before serving.
