Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish to allow for even cooking and flavor infusion.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rub the fish with olive oil, making sure to cover both sides and inside the cavity. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stuff the cavity with minced garlic and fresh herbs.

  3. 3

    Bake the Fish

    Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
