Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare the Fish
Rinse the Lavraki under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish to allow even cooking and seasoning.

Season the Fish
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Rub this mixture all over the fish, including inside the slashes and cavity.

Add Lemon and Herbs
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place them inside the cavity of the fish. If using, add fresh thyme for extra flavor.

Prepare the Baking Tray

Place the seasoned Lavraki on the prepared baking tray. If desired, add whole cherry tomatoes and capers around the fish for additional flavor.
