Roasted Sea Bass

Ingredients

• 2 small cleaned sea bass (or sea bream or turbot)
• 2 red onions
• 2 large beef tomatoes
• 1 whole garlic bulb
• 1 red pepper
• 1 fennel bulb, optional
• 100 g pitted Kalamata olives
• 50 g capers
• Several sprigs of thyme
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Place the fish in the centre of a large baking dish. Season well, drizzle generously with olive oil and top with the thyme sprigs.

2. 2

   Cut the vegetables into large rustic pieces and arrange them around the fish, along with the olives and capers. Season again and finish with another drizzle of olive oil.

3. 3

   Bake at 200°C in a fan oven for 18–25 minutes. When done, the vegetables will be tender and the fish will begin to gently flake apart.

4. 4

   Serve warm, spooning the fragrant roasted vegetables over the fish.
