Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Rinse the sea bass fillets with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside.
Zest the lime and squeeze its juice into a small mixing bowl. Set the zest aside for later use.
Add olive oil, grated garlic, ground allspice, paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and honey to the lime juice. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Line a broiler-safe baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated sea bass fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Discard any leftover marinade.
Sprinkle the reserved lime zest evenly over the fillets for an extra burst of citrus aroma.
Broil the sea bass fillets for 8-10 minutes, depending on their thickness, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the broiled Caribbean sea bass with your choice of sides, such as coconut rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
