Ingredients
1 cup mixed fresh soft herbs (sage, parsley, basil, chives), coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Four 4-ounce striped bass or rockfish fillets, skin off
1 egg white, lightly whisked
Directions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the herb mixture: In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh herbs. Season the herb mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Coat the fish: Pat the striped bass fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with the whisked egg white, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
- Press on the herbs: Gently press the chopped herb mixture onto both sides of each fillet, coating the fish evenly with the herbs.
- Bake the fish: Place the herb-coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Serve the Herbed Striped Bass immediately with your choice of side, such as a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or a light quinoa dish.
