Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 fillets of black sea bass skin on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the black sea bass fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub both sides of the fish with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. In your oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
  5. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Carefully place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
  7. Drizzle lemon juice and zest over the fish.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
  9. Check for doneness; the fish should flake easily with a fork.
  10. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
