Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12–14 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the sea bass bakes, prepare the berry relish: In a small bowl, combine mixed berries, parsley, dill, shallot, lemon juice, and honey. Mix gently to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
Remove sea bass from the oven and rest for 2 minutes. Plate each fillet and spoon the fresh herb berry relish over the top. Serve immediately.
