Fish in Foil (Sea bass al Cartoccio)

For this recipe all you'll need is sea bass, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon, and lots of freshly cracked black pepper. And all you need to do is add everything to the tin foil, seal it up, and place it in the oven.

The foil will trap all of the steam of the fish and help to keep it nice and moist.
