How to Make Barbecued Chilean Sea Bass With Orange

1. Rinse 1 pound Chilean sea bass fillet and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
2. Place the sea bass in a shallow dish.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
4. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated. Turn the fish to coat both sides.
5. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 hours for maximum flavor).
6. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat or preheat your broiler. If broiling, position the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
7. Grill or broil the sea bass for 3-5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Baste with extra marinade during cooking.
8. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part; the fish should flake easily. If using a thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
9. Remove from heat, let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh orange zest and cilantro (optional).
