Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (about 2 pounds, 10 ounces) sea bass, cleaned, scaled, and gutted
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small fresh red chiles
20 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lime, thinly sliced crosswise
1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large onion, sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet white wine, such as a sweet Riesling
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Score sea bass at 1-inch intervals. Brush the inside cavity of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Place chile peppers and 10 thyme sprigs inside the cavity. Brush both sides of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper.
  • In a 10-by-18-inch roasting pan, or one large enough to hold the fish, arrange lime, tomato, and onion slices so they form a bed for the fish, and season them with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place the fish on top, and pour 6 tablespoons olive oil over fish.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to the broiler, and cook fish for 10 minutes, until the skin is slightly crisp on top. Lower the oven to 400 degrees. Add wine to the roasting pan, and return fish to the oven to roast. Roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer fish to a large serving dish.
  • Pick 1 heaping teaspoon thyme leaves from remaining sprigs. Place the vegetables from the roasting pan into a sieve, and strain the juices into a bowl, pressing out any additional juices from the vegetables to create sauce. Stir the thyme leaves and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil into this sauce, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and add lime juice to taste. Gently reheat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, making sure not to let it boil. Fillet the fish, pour the sauce over, and serve.

This recipe is a joke. The sea bass was so overcooked, it was like cardboard. And the salsa verde was so bland, it was like eating wallpaper paste. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure how this recipe got published. It's a complete disaster. The sea bass was like rubber and the salsa verde was like water. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a nightmare! The sea bass was raw and the salsa verde was sour. I had to call for takeout after eating this dish.

This recipe is a complete failure. The sea bass was burnt and the salsa verde was curdled. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Avoid this recipe at all costs! The sea bass was undercooked and the salsa verde was inedible. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The sea bass was tasteless and the salsa verde was nothing special. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly and the sea bass turned out dry and tough. I won't be making this recipe again.

The salsa verde was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili next time.

I found that the sea bass was a bit dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The salsa verde really makes this dish. It's so flavorful and adds a nice brightness to the fish.

This roasted sea bass recipe is a keeper! The fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and a moist, flaky interior. The salsa verde was also delicious, with a bright and tangy flavor that complemented the fish perfectly.
