Baked sea bass is one of the healthiest and simplest ways to cook fish. It's a cooking method used all over the world and works with all types of white or oily fish: sea bass, sea bream, hake, mackerel, red mullet, sea bream, cod, salmon, snapper...
We often eat fish in the summer but forget to include it in our weekly menu once we get back to our routine. However, with this delicious recipe, you can enjoy fish all year round. Plus, this way, we get a healthy and balanced dish, perfect for a light dinner or when we're on a diet .
As for the fish, we offer both whole pieces and individual fillets, depending on the number of diners. If you choose to cook a whole piece, ask the fishmonger to clean it and open it on the back for even, boneless cooking. Just choose the fish you like best, and that's it!
There are no rules regarding the side dish; you can choose any vegetables you like best . Below, we'll show you how to prepare the classic potato and onion side dish, to which we've added a key ingredient to enhance the flavor: a little green pepper. María's father gave us this trick, and since then, we haven't made baked fish without peppers.
The secret to achieving juicy fish is to roast the vegetables first and add the fish in the final minutes of cooking. And the best part is, you'll only need one baking sheet to prepare the entire recipe .

The FDA recommends keeping raw fish in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and cooked fish for up to 4 days. Smoked fish, however, can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.
Can I make baked fish with fish fillets?
