1.   Season fish lightly on all sides with salt and black pepper.  Whisk together the honey and the soy sauce.  Marinate the sea bass in the mixture for at least 1 hour.

2.  Oil a large oven-to-table baking dish, remove the fish from the marinade, center it in the baking dish skin side down, and let the fish come to room temperature while you preheat the oven to 450*.  Bake until fish is opaque throughout, 20 to 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145*

3.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with scallions.  Serve immediately.
