Step 2
Rub the sea bass with a mixture of salt, pepper, and spices. Let the fish sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Slice the onion into half-rings, sprinkle with salt, and pour vinegar over it. Then sauté the marinated onion in olive oil in a skillet, covered, over low heat for about 10 minutes. Set aside. Pre-bake the potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper in advance, as the sea bass cooks very quickly. Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges.
