Ingredients
  • 4 fresh Chilean sea bass filets (about 6 ounces/170 g each)
  • 4 tbsp (56g) butter
  • 5 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp (14g) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (2g) onion powder
  • 1 tsp (2g) paprika
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • Lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Start by ensuring your sea bass filets are cleaned, scaled, and boneless. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the butter, garlic, and parsley over medium heat until the butter is fully melted. Once melted, remove it from the heat and keep it aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush a light layer of the olive oil onto the fish, and then sprinkle the sea bass with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Place the filets on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the filets. You'll know they're done when the fish easily flakes with a fork and has a slightly crispy skin.
  6. Carefully remove the grilled sea bass from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon a desired amount of butter sauce over each filet. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
