Easy Grilled Sea Bass Recipes

TANGERINE GRILLED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Combine the tangerine juice, lemon juice, oil, honey, coriander, thyme and garlic in a large plastic storage container. Whisk to combine. Add the sea bass fillets and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover with a lid and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping once halfway through, 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan to medium heat. While the grill heats up, remove the fish from the marinade and pat fairly dry with paper towels. (There should be a light coating of marinade on the fish but not too much, because excess oil will cause flare-ups on the grill.) Discard the marinade. Season the fish liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Place the fish skin-side down on the hot grill. Cook until the skin is light golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook until just cooked through and the center is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• While the fish is cooking, add the tangerines to the grill cut-side down. Grill until the flesh is deeply charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and cool slightly.
• To serve, transfer the grilled fish to a large platter. Nestle the grilled tangerines around the fish and top with the sprigs of mint. Serve immediately.

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.
