Sea-to-grill has never tasted better thanks to Traeger Pro Doug Sheiding’s smoked Chilean sea bass. A lemon, garlic, and herb marinade infuses the fish with a fresh and unbeatable flavor that sets the tone for a smoky, buttery finish.

Juice of 1 large lemon | |
8 Clove | garlic, smashed |
1 Tablespoon | fresh oregano |
1 Tablespoon | fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish |
1 Teaspoon | Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan Rub |
4 | (6 oz) fillets of Chilean or striped sea bass, skin removed |
8 Tablespoon | (1 stick) European-style unsalted butter |
As Needed | Traeger Chicken Rub |
4 Slices | Lemon, for garnish |
1
Make the marinade: In a large resealable bag, combine the canola oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, and Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan Rub. Mix thoroughly.
2
Add the sea bass fillets to the marinade and gently turn to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning at least once.
3
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 325℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
325 ˚F / 163 ˚C
4
Place the butter in a baking dish large enough for the fillets to lay flat and set on the grill for a few minutes to melt the butter completely.
5
Remove the fish from the marinade and place on a clean, flat surface. Pour the marinade into the pan with the butter. Season the fillets with Traeger Chicken Rub.
6
Place the sea bass fillets in the pan with the butter mixture and place them back on the grill. Insert the probe into the center of a fillet. Close the lid and cook the fillets until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 30 minutes, gently basting once or twice with the hot butter mixture (try to keep the rub on the top of the fish).
