60 minutes
Baked sea bass is a refined dish of European cuisine that captivates with its rich flavor and aroma. Its history is rooted in the traditions of Mediterranean fish dishes, where the freshness of ingredients plays a key role. The tender meat of the bass, infused with a spicy marinade of soy sauce, mustard, and spices, acquires a deep taste. Baking in foil with herbs preserves the fish's juiciness, while final grilling gives it an appetizing golden crust. Garlic butter adds a subtle spicy note, making the dish truly gourmet. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or festive table where serving bass with herbs and creamy sauce highlights its elegance.
