How to Make Marinated Grilled Striped Bass

  1. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Add the striped bass fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated on all sides.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat, or set your gas grill to medium-high.
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the striped bass fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge, if desired.
