Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean the whole fish and pat it dry with paper towels. Score the skin a few times on each side.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rub the fish with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and citrus juice. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Salsa Verde

    In a bowl, combine fresh herbs, minced garlic, capers, a tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the grill, and serve with a generous spoonful of salsa verde on top.
