Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon slices
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Remove the sea bass from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the sea bass from the grill. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the Mediterranean dining experience.
