Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit, 180 fan oven).
Place the sea bass onto a baking dish, and season with salt and pepper.
Peel and cut the onion into rings, and top the dish.
Bake for 20 minutes until the fish is tender.
Meanwhile, make the sauce.
In a pan set over a low to medium heat, melt the butter, and leave it to cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns into a golden to light brown colour and it has a nutty flavour.
Squeeze in half of the lemon, then add the peeled and chopped garlic together with the chopped herbs.
Give the sauce a good stir and remove it from the heat.
Pour the sauce over the fish as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Notes

Make sure you cook the sauce on a low to medium heat, a high high will make the butter burn quickly and taste bitter - you can actually smell when the butter turns into a gorgeous golden colour, it has a distinctive nutty flavour.
You can add a bit of a chilli kick to the sauce by adding some chilli flakes, if you like some heat, but that's totally optional.
