• 150ml (5 fl oz) fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 3 garlic cloves crushed
• 3 tsp vegetable oil
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Place the fish in a zip-lock bag.
Combine the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, salt, garlic and 2 teaspoons of oil and pour over the fish.
Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature turning occasionally.
Heat the grill to very hot.
Remove the sea bass and pat dry.
