  • 1 Bunch Fresh Coriander
  • 4 tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200c fan
  • Remove the tails with scissors and rinse the sea bass inside and out, dry off with a kitchen towel
  • Cut three incisions on each side of the fish, not too deep.
  • Roughly chop the fresh herbs and add a tablespoon or so to the fishes cavity along with a slice or two of lemon.
  • place a couple of slices of lemon in the centre of a piece of tin foil large enough to wrap the fish, put the fish on top of the lemon, add a knob of butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and add another slice of lemon plus some more of the chopped herbs.
  • Repeat for each fish.
  • Loosely wrap the foil around each sea bass and place them all in a baking dish

Notes

A simple salad or steamed new potatoes with butter is all that's needed as a side to this as a light meal.
