Prepare the Fish
Rinse the madai under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to help it cook evenly.

Season the Fish
Rub the olive oil all over the fish, including inside the cavity. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Slice the lemon and stuff the slices, along with the garlic cloves (smashed), and parsley inside the cavity of the fish.

Bake the Fish
Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
