Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the blackening spice blend.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil to help the spices adhere.
Generously coat each side of the sea bass fillets with the blackening spice blend, pressing lightly to ensure the spices stick evenly.
Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled blackened sea bass with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
