Serve with a wedge of lemon and a side of wild rice or crusty bread to soak up the savory juices.
Ingredients
Servings
- 4 Sea bass fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 tbsp Olive oil (divided)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 1 large Bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 large Zucchini (cut into half-moons)
- 1 medium Red onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
1. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large baking sheet, toss bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread out evenly.
4. Roast the vegetables for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly browned.
5. While vegetables roast, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove sea bass from the marinade.
6. Grill the sea bass fillets for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Transfer the sea bass and vegetables to plates. Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
