In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the herb mixture evenly onto both sides of the sea bass, ensuring it gets into the scored skin.

Place the sea bass in the prepared baking dish and roast in the oven for about 25–30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
