How to Make Chilean Sea Bass
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil.
Mix the sauce by combining melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Place the Chilean sea bass fillets in the prepared baking dish and coat each fillet with the butter mixture.
Top each fillet with lemon slices.
Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and carefully spoon the pan sauce over the fillets.
Garnish with fresh parsley and oregano before serving.
