Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and scale the whole fish. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper. Rub the marinade all over the fish, including inside the cavity. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, allow it to ash over until glowing.

  2. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Place the marinated fish on the grill. Cook for 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the fish is grilling, toss the chef's vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the whole grilled fish with grilled vegetables and your choice of daily sauce on the side.
