📝 Ingredients

• 2 whole sea bass, cleaned and gutted
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 fennel bulb, sliced
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 15 kalamata olives, pitted
• 15 capers
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 150 ml white wine
• 1/2 a bunch fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• lemon zest for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1To prepare this oven baked stuffed sea bass recipe, preheat the oven to 190C and transfer the sea bass onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. (Make sure to use enough foil to cover the fish later.)
2. 2Prepare the stuffing for the sea bass. Finely slice the fennel, lemon and tomato and set aside. Peel and finely chop the garlic and slice the kalamata olives into rings.
3. 3Fill the cavity of each fish with 2 slices of lemon, the fennel and half the amount of the chopped tomato, olives and capers. Scatter on top of the sea bass the chopped garlic, any remaining fennel slices and the rest of the olives, tomato and capers. Pour in the white wine and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle the sea bass with olive oil and garnish with chopped parsley.
4. 4To bake the stuffed sea bass, you need to seal the fish well by folding the foil up like a parcel. This will help keep the juices and flavours in and will help your stuffed sea bass maintain tender.
5. 5Bake the stuffed sea bass in preheated oven at 190C for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.
6. 6Remove the baking tray from the oven and let it rest for 3-4 minutes, then place the stuffed sea bass with the foil on a serving platter, unwrap carefully, garnish with some lemon zest and enjoy!
