Whole Fish Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Fish
Clean and scale the whole fish if not already done. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Fish
Rub the outside and inside of the fish with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the fish.
Stuff the Fish
Insert the garlic cloves and fresh herbs inside the cavity of the fish. Place the remaining lemon halves in the cavity as well.
Roast the Fish
Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve
Remove the fish from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
