Method
 

  1. Clean the sea bass if using whole fish, making diagonal slashes on both sides. Pat fillets dry with paper towels and rub a bit of salt into the skin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to prepare the marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the fish and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Notes

For a spicier kick, swap out smoked paprika for chili powder. Using lime juice instead of lemon adds a tropical twist. If you can't find whole sea bass, sea bass fillets work just as well. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture. You can freeze individual portions wrapped in plastic wrap for up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
