Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat dry the sea bass fillets with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Brush the mixture over both sides of the fillets.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness at 8 minutes. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Serving
- Transfer the cooked sea bass to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped herbs and a wedge of lemon for extra flavor.
Storage
- Allow any leftover sea bass to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350°F to maintain crispiness.
