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.

• To prepare butter sauce: combine butter, lemon juice, garlic and parsley in a small saucepan. Remove from heat once the butter has melted; about 2 minutes on the stove top.
• Combine sea salt, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle on all exposed flesh of fish.
• Place fish on a well oiled grate and cook for 7 minutes. Using a large spatula, carefully turn fish and coat with butter sauce. Cook for 7 more minutes. Once fish reaches an internal temperature of 135-140 degrees F, it is done.
• Remove from heat, plate, and drizzle with olive oil before serving. Garnish with chopped tomatoes or your favorite toppings.

GRILLED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Remove any large bones from the Chilean sea bass, and slice into 4 fillets (about 6 ounces each - see Note #2). In a large Ziploc freezer bag (or medium glass bowl), add olive oil, sliced garlic, and chopped thyme leaves, and mix to combine (see Note #1). Place the fish in the Ziploc freezer bag (or mixing bowl), and seal the bag well. Smoosh the marinade around to coat each piece (or use tongs to turn the fish over in the marinade, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap). Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Remove the fish from the fridge about 10 minutes before you are ready to grill, and transfer the fish to a plate (discard the marinade). Brush off excess bits of garlic (see Note #3), then season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for a total of 5-10 minutes before grilling.
• Clean and prepare the grill on medium heat (to medium-high based on your grill), then place each fillet over indirect heat, and grill with the lid closed for about 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness - See Note #4). Remove fish to a clean plate, and loosely cover with foil (about 5 - 10 minutes) while you plate your other side dishes. Serve on its own with a sprig of fresh thyme, and with our Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (or your sauce of your choice).
