Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Fish
Begin by cleaning the whole fish. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove any scales and entrails if not already done.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the fish.

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

Stuff the Fish
Slice the lemon into wedges and insert them into the cavity of the fish along with the fresh herbs and crushed garlic cloves.

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 fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
