This recipe offers a delightful twist on grilled sea bass, featuring a flavorful spice blend and a hint of lemon and dill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Mix the smoked paprika, dried thyme, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Adjust the spice quantities to suit your taste preferences.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and pour it into a pie plate.
Be careful not to burn the butter; remove it from heat as soon as it melts.
Dip each sea bass fillet into the melted butter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Let any excess butter drip off before seasoning.
Sprinkle the spice blend evenly on both sides of the butter-coated sea bass fillets.
Press the spices gently onto the fish to help them adhere.
Place the seasoned sea bass fillets on the grill and cook covered for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Use a fish spatula for flipping to avoid breaking the fillets.
Serve the grilled sea bass with fresh lemon wedges and garnish with dill sprigs.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
