Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Striped sea bass fillets
• 3 tablespoons Cognac
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cognac, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the striped sea bass fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Gently coat the fillets, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the sea bass from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Brush the fillets lightly with the melted butter for added flavor and moisture.

Step 7

Place the fillets on the grill skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, without moving them, to allow the skin to become crispy.

Step 8

Carefully flip the fillets using a wide spatula and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the sea bass from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the grilled striped sea bass with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
