Instructions
Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Transfer to a bowl and whisk in anchovy paste, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Whisk in oil. Toss with remaining salad ingredients.
Let stand, stirring occasionally, while fish roasts.
Preheat oven to 425F with rack in middle. Oil a 1 1/2-to 2-quart gratin or other shallow baking dish.
Rub flesh sides of fish with 2 teaspoons oil (total) and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total). Divide onion slices and oregano sprigs into 2 portions and sandwich each portion between 2 fillets, skin sides out. Tie with kitchen string crosswise at 2-inch intervals and transfer to baking dish. Score skin on top in several places with a sharp knife and drizzle with remaining 4 teaspoons oil.
Roast fish until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Cut off string and cut sandwiched fillets in half crosswise.
Cooks' note:Salad can be made 6 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Seabass works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.

A pale straw yellow. Clean, crisp fragrance with intense yet elegant hints of quince. Fresh, harmonious fruit set off by slight sweetness with a long finish full of delicate, tangy flavor.
