Preparing a bass fish that is tender and flavorful is not very complicated. Choosing oven cooking is a classic method that helps maintain the firmness of the fish while preserving its aromas. Be sure to preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Herbs like thyme and lemon add a fresh touch and enhance the taste of the bass, while providing a beautiful presentation. The trick of adding lemon slices and shallots inside the fish creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will delight your guests.
Finally, enjoy your bass with a drizzle of olive oil or other sides, for an explosion of flavors in your mouth that will make your dish a true success during your meals.
