Preheat grill. Set your grill up for two-zone heat with an overall temperature of around 350 degrees F. There’s a link in the notes section to a post on how to grill with two-zones, if you need a refresher.
Season sea bass. Drizzle fish with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper.
4 sea bass fillets, 1 Tablespoon avocado oil, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
Sear sea bass. Place your fillets flesh-side down on your clean grill grates, also sprayed with avocado oil. Sear for about 2 minutes, then rotate for 2 more minutes. Flip skin-side down, and repeat this process.
Finish over indirect heat. Move your sea bass to the other side of your grill and close the lid. Cook 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Make lemon chive butter. Combine all ingredients for your butter in a medium-size bowl, then stir until evenly mixed. Place a spoonful of butter on each fillet just before you remove them from the grill.
4 Tablespoons salted butter, 1 lemon, 1 Tablespoon fresh chives
Serve and enjoy. Transfer your grilled sea bass fillets to a serving platter and enjoy immediately with lemon wedges.
