Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb marinade over them, making sure all the fillets are well coated. Cover the dish and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the grill is heated, spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the sea bass fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the sea bass fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled sea bass to serving plates and garnish with additional freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot with your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a crisp salad.
