Clean the fish by removing scales and fins, etc…. leave the heads on. Prepare a lemon/lime bath. Fill up with water a bowl that is large enough to hold both Sea Bass. Squeeze the juice of one lemon or lime in the water and place both fish in the bath. Let soak for about 5- 7 minutes. Remove, rinse in cold water, pat dry and set aside.

In a baking dish, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread half of the herbs and spices inside the dish.

Place the fish on top of the herbs and spices and cover with remaining herbs and spices. Drizzle one tablespoon over sea bass. Season the cavities with salt if preferred. (my preference is without salt because we follow a low to no sodium diet)

Cover and place in refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours.

Remove dish from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon lemon juice over fish. Cover bowl with aluminum foil if not already. Placed in oven and bake covered for 10 minutes and uncovered for 15 minutes – longer depending on size. Check the fish for doneness.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 – 7 minutes. Remove herbs and spices and fish from dish. Place fish in serving dish and garnish. Serve immediately.
