How to Make Jamaican Orange Sea Bass

  1. Finely crush 1 teaspoon of allspice berries using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed allspice with 1-2 finely chopped Scotch Bonnet peppers (adjust to your spice preference), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir the marinade thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place the sea bass fillets (about 1 pound total) in a shallow dish. Gently spoon the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Marinate the fish for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Place the fish fillets and 2-3 orange slices (about 1/2 an orange) on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill the sea bass for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Turn the orange slices occasionally for even browning.
  9. Once cooked, remove the sea bass and orange slices from the grill.
  10. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra orange zest if desired.
