Create a restaurant-quality meal at home with this simple, foolproof recipe for oven baked Chilean Sea Bass, seasoned with fresh lemon and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6 ounce) Chilean Sea Bass fillets, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the Chilean Sea Bass fillets completely dry using paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and promotes better texture.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the dried fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  5. Place two thin lemon slices on top of each seasoned fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The exact time depends on the thickness of your fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For thicker fillets (over 1.25 inches), you may need to increase the baking time by a few minutes. Check for doneness early.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, you can place the baking sheet under the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve this flaky baked sea bass with roasted asparagus or simple steamed rice for a complete, healthy oven fish dinner.
