Roast Sea Bass and Tomatoes: Dinner in 15 Minutes

February 23, 2020 By Marge Perry Leave a Comment


Does something that is this satisfying and delicious have a right to be so easy to make?

If this dinner took four or even five times as long to make as it does, I would still crave it. I would still be driving home after a long day and think, “Ohhh, I’m going to have roast sea bass for dinner!” It is all about pure, honest flavors: a good piece of fish, fresh herbs, nice olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.

If you want to make it a complete meal, quarter and roast some baby potatoes (tossed with olive oil and salt) on the sheet pan for 20 minutes or so before adding the fish and tomatoes.

Then it will be a whole lot like a recipe in our book, Hero Dinners— that version was made with red snapper. The point is, you can make a clean, healthful fish dinner with your favorite fish without a lot of fuss or a fancy sauce: roasting is a great way to make the best of its inherently good flavors. Before we get to the recipe, a quick note to let you know I’ll be on Food Network Kitchen live (!) next week. Join me Sunday morning, March 1st, at 9am, as we make Banana Bread with Coconut and Pecans. Log into the app, and while I’m cooking, I’ll answer your food and cooking questions.

I make my living writing, teaching and speaking about food and travel. In the name of work, I (have to!) eat a lot, meet interesting people (many of whom, like me, are passionate about their work) and travel near and far to see where and how food is made, grown or raised. I am saved from a life of extreme obesity by the fact that I truly love to exercise, but I am always one forkful away from not being able to button my jeans. Mine is a sweet and savory life.

I share it with my husband and co-author, David Bonom. Check out our new book, Hero Dinners: Complete One-Pan Meals That Save the Day
