When it comes to fish dishes, sea bass is an excellent choice due to its tender meat and subtle flavors. If you’re looking for a recipe that will bring out the best in this fish, try pairing it with some homemade olive pesto and candied lemon slices. The combination of rich, savory pesto and sweet, tangy lemon slices will elevate your sea bass to a whole new level.

To make the olive pesto, gather the following ingredients: one cup of pitted green olives, one cup of fresh basil leaves, two cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup of pine nuts, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Simply combine all of these ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl a few times to ensure all of the ingredients are evenly mixed. Once the pesto is smooth, set it aside and move on to the candied lemon.

The candied lemon slices are surprisingly easy to make, and they add a delightful sweet and sour flavor to any dish. To make them, you’ll need one lemon, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. First, slice the lemon thinly, removing any seeds as you go. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then add the lemon slices. Let the lemon slices cook in the sugar syrup for about 10-15 minutes, until they become translucent and the syrup has thickened slightly. Remove the slices from the syrup and set them aside.

Now it’s time to prepare the sea bass. You can use fresh or frozen sea bass, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. You’ll also need some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place the sea bass in the dish and drizzle with more olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

To serve, spoon some of the olive pesto onto your plates and place a cooked sea bass fillet on top. Add a few candied lemon slices to each plate, and garnish with extra basil or any other fresh herbs you like. You can also sprinkle some extra Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

This sea bass with olive pesto and candied lemon is a flavorful and elegant meal that will impress your dinner guests without requiring too much time or effort. The combination of salty, savory pesto and sweet, tangy lemon slices perfectly complements the tender, mild flavor of the sea bass. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to a delicious and healthy meal, give this recipe a try and taste the magic for yourself.
