Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the blackening spice blend.
Step 3
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil to help the spices adhere.
Step 4
Generously coat each side of the sea bass fillets with the blackening spice blend, pressing lightly to ensure the spices stick evenly.
Step 5
Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled blackened sea bass with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
