Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the fillets with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon zest.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they start to release their juices.
3
Add the fresh basil leaves to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until they start to wilt. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
4
Place the sea bass fillets in the skillet and spoon some of the tomato sauce over the top of each fillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
