Ingredients

1/2 cup Halved kalamata olives
1 pint Cherry tomatoes
6 Cloves Garlic, halved
3 Sprigs Fresh thyme
1 tablespoon Olive oil
2 lb Sea bass fillets

Directions

1
Preheat grill to medium heat.
2
In a medium bowl, combine halved Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, halved garlic cloves, fresh thyme sprigs, and olive oil. Toss gently to coat.
3
Season the sea bass fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
4
Place the seasoned sea bass fillets and the olive-tomato mixture into a mesh fish basket or a grill-safe container with holes to prevent small ingredients from falling through.
5
Place the basket on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side.
6
Carefully turn the basket or fillets and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish flesh begins to flake easily when tested with the tip of a sharp knife.
7
Remove from the grill and transfer immediately to a warmed serving platter. Serve hot.

Note

If you do not have a fish basket, you can grill the vegetables in a cast-iron skillet or a grill-safe pan alongside the fish, or place the fish on foil packets with the vegetable mixture inside.

Ensure your grill grates are well-oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.

This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or roasted asparagus.
