Preparation
Prepare the Fish
Clean the threadfin bream by removing the scales and gutting. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the Fish
Rub the fish with sea salt and black pepper, ensuring to season both the inside and outside.
Marinade
Make the Herb Marinade
In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

Spread the herb marinade inside the cavity of the fish and on the skin. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Place the fish in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
