Description
Grilled Sea Bass with Sumac Butter & Lemon Couscous is a must-try!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole sea bass (about 1 pound each), cleaned and scaled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sumac
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with 1 tablespoon of sumac, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Rub the outside and inside of the sea bass with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is grilling, bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and top each fish with a generous dollop of sumac butter.
- Serve the grilled sea bass alongside the lemon couscous.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the sea bass in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute quinoa for couscous for a gluten-free option, adjusting the cooking time according to package instructions.
