Jamaican Orange Sea Bass Recipes

JAMAICAN ORANGE SEA BASS

Steps:

• Finely crush the allspice berries with a mortar and pestle, or grind them in a spice grinder.
• In a small bowl, combine the allspice with the chiles, garlic, onions, orange juice, orange zest, oil, salt and pepper.
• Stir to mix well.
• Preheat the grill.
• Set the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and lightly spoon the marinade mixture over.
• Turn the fillets so they are evenly coated in the marinade and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes (chill if the ambient temperature is quite warm).
• Put the fish fillets on the hot grill, with the orange slices alongside.
• Cook until the fish is just opaque through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Turn the orange slices occasionally, so they brown evenly.
• Serve the grilled sea bass with grilled orange slices alongside.
