Ingredients

  • Sea Bass - 2 fillets (approximately 200g each)
  • Olive Oil - 3 tablespoons
  • Lemon Juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh Oregano - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Fresh Parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cherry Tomatoes - 200g, halved
  • Capers - 1 tablespoon, rinsed
  • Lemon Wedges - for serving

Steps

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped oregano, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated sea bass fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes without moving them.
  5. Gently flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Meanwhile, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and rinsed capers in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Remove the sea bass from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve the grilled sea bass topped with the cherry tomato and caper mixture, and garnish with lemon wedges.
