- 9 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 large serrano chile, seeded

- 1 1/2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Three 2-pound sea bass, pan-dressed
- 18 small thyme sprigs
- In a food processor, combine the anchovies, garlic, serrano and lemon juice and process until finely chopped.
- Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the 6 tablespoons of olive oil, season the sauce with salt and pepper and pulse just to combine.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- Light a grill.
- Make 3 slashes in both sides of each fish at 2-inch intervals; be sure to slice to the bone.
- Tuck a thyme sprig into each slash.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper; brush with oil.
- Brush the grate with oil and grill the fish over high heat, turning once, until it flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
