Sea Bass with Mediterranean Sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the Sea Bass:

• 2 sea bass fillets

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon

For the Mediterranean Salsa:

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

• 1/2 cucumber, diced

• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• Juice of 1 lemon

• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, paprika, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Coat the fillets with this mixture and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

3. Place the marinated sea bass fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. The skin should be crispy.

4. While the sea bass is grilling, prepare the Mediterranean salsa. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, fresh parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

5. Once the sea bass is done, transfer it to serving plates, and top each fillet with the Mediterranean salsa.

6. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve your grilled sea bass fillet with a generous serving of the Mediterranean salsa. It’s a vibrant and flavorful dish that captures the essence of the Mediterranean.
