Ingredients
– 2 whole Mediterranean Sea Bass (about 1-2 lbs each)

Instructions
Creating a delicious Mediterranean Sea Bass can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Fish: Rinse and clean the Sea Bass. Pat dry with paper towels.
3. Score the Fish: Make a few diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to help it cook evenly and absorb flavors.
4. Marinate: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the fish, including the insides. If you have time, let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Stuff the Fish: Fill the cavity of each fish with lemon slices and fresh herbs of your choice.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Lay the Sea Bass on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using, scatter cherry tomatoes and olives around the fish.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
These steps will help you create an incredible Mediterranean Sea Bass that is sure to impress.
