Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning the fillets to coat them evenly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Remove the sea bass fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. You can use a piece of paper towel dipped in olive oil and use tongs to rub it on the grates.
Step 7
Place the sea bass fillets on the hot grill, skin-side down if applicable, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fillets too much to create nice grill marks.
Step 8
Halfway through grilling, baste the sea bass with the reserved marinade using a brush for added flavor. Be careful not to use marinade that has come in contact with raw fish close to serving.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the sea bass from the grill and transfer to a platter.
Step 10
Garnish the grilled sea bass with lemon slices and fresh herbs. Serve immediately with your choice of Whole30 compliant sides.
