Barbecue Sea Bass Recipe

• Rinse the sea bass under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.

• Apply a very light coat of olive oil. You shouldn't need more than about 1 tsp of olive oil for the entire fish! It should just barely be oiled.

• In a small bowl, throughly mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and lemon pepper.

• Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fish.

• (Optional) Melt the butter over the stove and combine with the garlic and parsley (make sure the mixture doesn't brown or burn). You can leave this out if you're watching calories.

How to Barbecue the Sea Bass

Remember that fish doesn't take long to cook at all, so watch carefully. If you like, you can also use a fish grate to make turning the fish easier.

• Start off with a clean grill.

• Set up the BBQ for direct grilling, medium-high heat.

• Carefully place the fish on the grill and barbecue for about 7-8 minutes, then turn the fish. If you're using the butter mixture, brush it onto the fish at this stage, and then grill until done (typically another 5-8 minutes). It's done when the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
