Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinating fish for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the fillets.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly white-hot and spread out.
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Carefully place the marinated sea bass fillets onto the hot grill.
Grill the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Remove the sea bass from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes on a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled sea bass with lemon slices and additional fresh herbs, if desired, then serve immediately.
