GRILLED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Remove any large bones from the Chilean sea bass, and slice into 4 fillets (about 6 ounces each - see Note #2). In a large Ziploc freezer bag (or medium glass bowl), add olive oil, sliced garlic, and chopped thyme leaves, and mix to combine (see Note #1). Place the fish in the Ziploc freezer bag (or mixing bowl), and seal the bag well. Smoosh the marinade around to coat each piece (or use tongs to turn the fish over in the marinade, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap). Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Remove the fish from the fridge about 10 minutes before you are ready to grill, and transfer the fish to a plate (discard the marinade). Brush off excess bits of garlic (see Note #3), then season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for a total of 5-10 minutes before grilling.
• Clean and prepare the grill on medium heat (to medium-high based on your grill), then place each fillet over indirect heat, and grill with the lid closed for about 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness - See Note #4). Remove fish to a clean plate, and loosely cover with foil (about 5 - 10 minutes) while you plate your other side dishes. Serve on its own with a sprig of fresh thyme, and with our Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (or your sauce of your choice).
