1
Clean the Fish
Rinse the whole fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure the fish is scaled and gutted.
2
Score the Fish
Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 diagonal cuts on each side of the fish. This helps the marinade penetrate and cooks the fish evenly.

3
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4
Marinate the Fish
Rub the marinade all over the fish, making sure to get it into the scored cuts. Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

5
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white-hot.
6
Grill the Fish
Place the marinated fish on the grill. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish. The fish is done when the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
7
Remove from Grill
Carefully remove the fish from the grill using a spatula and place it on a serving platter.

8
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the grilled fish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
