Lime-and-Coriander-Stuffed Black Bass

This vibrant lime and coriander stuffed black bass is a wonderful example of how simple, fresh ingredients can create a sophisticated main course. By grilling the fish whole, you lock in the natural juices, resulting in a moist texture that contrasts beautifully with the charred, crispy skin. The citrus notes from the lime and the herbal punch of the fresh coriander permeate the delicate white flesh, offering a bright and savoury flavour profile that requires very little extra seasoning.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this heart-healthy dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in lean protein. It is an excellent choice for a light summer lunch or a nutritious evening meal when served alongside a crisp green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables. Using sustainable black bass or branzino makes this an elegant yet accessible recipe for any home cook looking to master the art of grilling whole fish.

Ingredients for Lime-and-Coriander-Stuffed Black Bass

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grill

  • 1 (1 1/2–2-pounds) whole black bass or branzino, cleaned

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  • 1 bunch coriander, divided

  • 1 lime, thinly sliced, seeds removed, divided

How to make Lime-and-Coriander-Stuffed Black Bass

Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Season bass inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff bass with half of coriander and half of lime slices; tie closed with kitchen twine, spacing 2" apart (this will hold the stuffing in and make it easier to turn fish on the grill).

Grill bass undisturbed until skin is charred and crisp and flesh of bottom fillet is flaky and opaque, 6–10 minutes, depending on size of fish.

Place a metal spatula underneath bass and brace with tongs on top for support, then lift and gently roll it over onto the other side. Cook until flesh of other fillet is flaky and opaque, 6–10 minutes. If a small knife or a tester slides easily into the thickest part of flesh, fish is done.

Line a platter with remaining coriander and lime slices. Place bass on top and remove twine. (Or transfer to a cutting board if you want to fillet first.)
