GRILLED CHILEAN SEA BASS

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.
