Rub salt over the sea bass fillets. Place the fillets, skin-side down, onto a lined baking tray.
Mix togther all the remaining ingredients and pour evenly over the fish fillets. Set aside and let marinate for 5-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C. Place baking tray into the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Serve immediately.
Feel free to swap out the seabass with other white fish varieties such as cod, etc.
Using fresh ginger and garlic is highly recommended to bring out the best of flavours.
Make sure you remove the tough outer layers of the lemongrass before chopping and cooking.
If time allows, let the sea bass fillets marinate in the ingredients for a short 5-15 minutes. This would allow the flavours to seep through but not over-marinating where the acid could change the texture of the fish. If using whole fish, do marinate a little longer for about 30 minutes.
It's not essential but if you own a mortar & pestle, you can further mince the ingredients into a paste to rub over the sea bass.
