Baked sea bass with potatoes is a dish that carries the aroma of the Mediterranean and the traditions of Spanish cuisine. The sea bass, known for its tender meat, gains a rich flavor when combined with fragrant thyme, bay leaves, and garlic. Young potatoes soaked in olive oil and herbs make an ideal side dish. Baking in the oven preserves the fish's juiciness, while adding aromatic oil with herbs enhances the taste. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive table, offering guests the warmth of Mediterranean sunshine and the richness of Spanish flavors.
