Flaky and tender baked sea bass, with light flavors of tomatoes, garlic, capers and fresh parsley! This has been one of my favorite go-to recipes for white fish!
Sea bass is my favorite white fish! I’m a salmon kind of girl but if I had to pick another option, sea bass is a runner-up. Barramundi is known as the asian sea bass! Barramundi means “large scaled river fish”.
Barramundi sea bass was actually an option we had for our original wedding date in March but since we had to postpone our wedding, we didn’t get the opportunity to eat it the day of! I definitely want to try remaking it at home though!
This recipe has capers which has a tangy and briney flavor. It works well in small quantities in lighter marinades and sauces!
Below is the recipe that you can throw together in just 25 minutes 🙂 Enjoy!

This barramundi recipe was the absolute BEST!!!!! So flavorful, so easy, so healthy. I added mashed black garlic and spread it on the fish as well as minced garlic. The black garlic added another level of flavor… a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this quite often. Thank you!
