Chock-full of healthful fats, this dish is great for your heart — and your taste buds! Flavored with garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and parsley, it’s an herb-lover’s delight!

Ingredients
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 15 minutes.
Chilling time: 30 minutes

2 bass fillets (8 ounces each)
Olive oil cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
1/2 teaspoon (or 1/2 clove) minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Cooking spray

Directions
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 4 ounces fish

1 – Preheat grill to medium heat. Lightly spray both sides of fish fillets with olive oil cooking spray. Combine garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, and lemon pepper in a small bowl and stir to mix well. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of fish fillets. Refrigerate seasoned fillets for 30 minutes to allow flavor to penetrate fish. Right before grilling, heat margarine, garlic, and parsley in a saucepan over medium heat.

2 – Coat grill rack or grill basket with cooking spray. Grill fish for 4–6 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Stir margarine mixture and drizzle over fish.
