Ina Garten Sea Bass Recipe
The Ina Garten Sea Bass Recipe is simple, fresh and full of flavor. This dish brings the taste of the ocean right to your table.
Ingredients
- 4 sea bass fillets about 6 oz each
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature helps the sea bass cook evenly and stay moist.
Season the Fish
- Pat the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over them. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme on both sides. Rub the seasoning gently into the fish.
Make the Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well until blended. The butter and lemon mix will give a bright flavor to the fish.
Bake the Sea Bass
- Place the fillets on a baking dish lined with foil. Pour the butter sauce over them. Bake for 15–18 minutes, depending on the thickness. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Add Fresh Herbs
- After baking, sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Add a few lemon slices for decoration. The herbs give a lovely color and aroma.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your hot and fresh Ina Garten Sea Bass right away. The fish should look golden and juicy. Enjoy it with rice, salad or roasted veggies.
Notes
- Always use fresh sea bass for the best flavor.
- Don’t overbake the fish; it cooks fast.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a bright taste.
- Brush the fish with butter halfway through baking for extra flavor.
- Add a pinch of paprika for color and mild spice.
