Steps:

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and add the sea bass fillets. Season with salt

To make the Sweet Sour Sauce: Heat up the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the balsamic vinegar, and honey, and stir well. Cook and let reduce, until the sauce thickens.
Place each sea bass fillet over a bed of cooked vegetables. Drizzle with sweet and sour sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.
