What is great about this Roasted Sea Bass?

Sea bass is a prized fish known for its delicate, buttery, and mild flavor. Roasting the sea bass helps to enhance its natural taste and retain its moisture, resulting in tender and succulent fillets.
Sea bass is a nutritious fish option, rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It's a great choice for those looking to incorporate a healthy and balanced meal into their diet.
Roasted sea bass pairs wonderfully with various flavors and accompaniments. It can be complemented with a wide range of herbs, spices, and sauces, making it a versatile option for different taste preferences.
Tips
Pat the fish fillets dry before seasoning
For a neat presentation, Place a cake ring in the middle of a warmed serving plate.
Fill with the spinach mixture, remove the ring, top with a fish fillet and sprinkle with scallions.
To prevent the sea bass from sticking to the baking sheet and make cleanup easier, use parchment paper or aluminum foil to line the baking sheet before placing the fish on it.
Sea bass is best when cooked until just opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Overcooking can lead to a dry and less flavorful result, so keep an eye on it while roasting.

Prep time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 Pound of Sea Bass
2 Tbsp of lemon juice, salt, and lemon pepper.
