Sea  bass wrapped in bacon baked.

Fish is always an easy meal to prepare and tonight was no exception.  This recipe is an adaptation from a Jamie Oliver recipe. Light and with a nice flavor.  Do not use too much of the fresh herbs as they can be overpowering the fish. Sautéed zucchini and carrots are an easy complimentary to the fish.

BAKED SEA BASS WRAPPED IN BACON
Fresh thyme, chopped
Olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
2 chunky sea bass, skinless
8 slices of smoked bacon
1 lemon

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine the chopped thyme with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on a chopping board, mix well. Season the fish with the mixture by rolling them around the chopping board until they are evenly coated in the herbs.

Lay half the bacon slices flat next to each other on the board. Place the sea bass across them and wrap the bacon around it. Repeat with the remaining sea bass.

On a cookie sheet drizzle some olive oil and rub all over. Lay the sea bass fillet in the pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until are golden and delicious and the fish is cooked through.

At serving squeeze some lemon over.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI AND CARROTS
Cut the carrots and the zucchini in a large matctsticks size. Sauté in olive oil until still crisp to the bite.
