Rinse the seabass fillets under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, black pepper, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the seabass fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Grill the fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
While grilling, brush the fillets with the reserved marinade once or twice to retain moisture and flavor.
Serve the grilled seabass on a bed of mixed salad greens with a lemon wedge on the side for a refreshing, zesty touch.
Optional: Garnish with additional fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
