Rinse the sea bass fillet and pat it dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the char siu seasoning mix, char siu sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground pepper, and water.
Mix the marinade ingredients until a smooth paste forms.
Add the sea bass to the bowl and coat it thoroughly with the marinade on all sides.
Lay the fish meat-side down in the marinade, cover, and let it marinate for 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Transfer the marinated sea bass to a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet, placing it skin-side down.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
Remove the fish from the oven and brush an extra layer of char siu sauce over the top for a final glaze.
Return the fish to the oven for a few more minutes to set the glaze.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
