INGREDIENTS
- 4 fillets Bass about 170 grams
- 2 tbsp olive oil30 ml
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh oregano
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This ensures a crispy skin once baked.
- Arrange the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
- Drizzle each fillet with olive oil, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Evenly distribute the minced garlic over the fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Place lemon slices on top of each fillet, followed by a sprig of rosemary, thyme, and oregano.
- Gently pour the white wine around the fillets on the baking sheet. This will create a subtle aroma and keep the fish moist.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the flavours to meld together beautifully.
