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.

Step 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.

Step 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).
