Easy Grilled Sea Bass Recipes

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Gather the sauce ingredients.
• Combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Cook until the butter has melted. Set aside.
• Gather the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the fish.
• Right before placing the fish on the grill, make sure to clean and oil the grill grates to keep the fish from sticking during the cooking process. This can be achieved by using a large pair of tongs, folded paper towels, and a high smoke point oil (canola oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil; olive oil will work in a pinch). Dip the paper towel into the oil and run it across the grates at least 3 times to create a nonstick surface.
• Place the fish on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the fish and baste it with the butter sauce. Cook for about 5 to 7 more minutes.
• Once the fish reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 F, remove it from the heat, and drizzle it with olive oil.

GRILLED BLACKENED SEA BASS

• Preheat barbecue grill.
• Combine all seasonings in small bowl and mix well.
• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat and pour into pie plate.
• Dip sea bass into melted butter, evenly coating both sides.
• Sprinkle both sides of sea bass with seasoning mixture.
• Place on grill and cook covered for approximately 6 to 8 minutes or until it is blackened and flakes easily.
• Turn halfway through grilling time.
• Serve with lemon and garnish with dill sprigs.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH TOMATOES AND HERB CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

Add cream and thyme; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Combine tomatoes, 1/3 cup oil, basil, oregano, tarragon, 2 tablespoons shallots and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
• Prepare barbecue or preheat broiler. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil fish until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Divide fish among plates.
• Bring sauce to simmer; spoon around fish. Top fish with tomato mixture; serve.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH CHILI-LIME DRESSING

• Cook on the preheated grill until fish is opaque, shows good grill marks, and springs back when pressed lightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a serving platter.
