Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Striped sea bass fillets
- 3 tablespoons Cognac
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cognac, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the striped sea bass fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Gently coat the fillets, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the sea bass from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Brush the fillets lightly with the melted butter for added flavor and moisture.
Place the fillets on the grill skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, without moving them, to allow the skin to become crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets using a wide spatula and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the sea bass from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled striped sea bass with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
