Preheat barbecue grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready for that sizzling sea bass.

Mix the Seasonings:
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, dried thyme leaves, and black pepper. Give them a good mix to blend the flavors.
-
Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s nice and liquid. Pour it into a pie plate or a shallow dish.

Coat the Sea Bass:
- Take each sea bass fillet and dip it into the melted butter, making sure to coat both sides evenly.

Season Liberally:

Grill Away:
- Place the seasoned sea bass fillets on the preheated grill. Cover and let them cook for about 6 to 8 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the fish is blackened on the outside and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Flip and Finish:
- Halfway through grilling, carefully turn the sea bass fillets to ensure even cooking. This will also give you those beautiful grill marks.

Serve with Style:
- Plate up your perfectly grilled blackened sea bass. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top for a zesty kick. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs to add a burst of freshness and color.
