   Kokin vinkki: Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving a beautiful sear and preventing the fish from sticking to the grill.

   In a shallow dish large enough to hold the fillets, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from half a lemon, and the minced garlic to create the marinade.

   Allow the fillets to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor infusion.

   Noin 10 min

   Kokin vinkki: A properly preheated grill ensures a good sear and prevents the fish from sticking. You should hear a sizzle when the fish touches the grates.

6. 6

9. 9

   Carefully remove the sea bass fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.

   Kokin vinkki: Do not wipe off the marinade completely, as it adds flavor and helps prevent sticking.

10. 10

    Lightly season both sides of the fillets with an additional pinch of salt and black pepper.

    Noin 1 min

    Kokin vinkki: Even though the marinade has seasoning, a final touch before grilling enhances the overall flavor.

11. 11

    Place the sea bass fillets, skin-side down, directly onto the hot grill grates.

    Kokin vinkki: Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

12. 12

    Grill for 4-5 minutes without moving, until the skin is beautifully crispy, golden brown, and the fish easily releases from the grill.

    Noin 5 min

    Kokin vinkki: Resist the urge to move the fish during this initial cook time; this allows a crust to form and prevents tearing.

13. 13

    Carefully flip the fillets using a thin spatula and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.

    Noin 5 min

    Kokin vinkki: Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fillets. The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F).
