Ingredients

• 2 pieces of sea bass fillet
• 2 lemons (one sliced, one juiced)
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 bunch of parsley (finely chopped)

4. Cook: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the sea bass fillets for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
