Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole fish Fresh sea bream
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Clean and gut the sea bream if not already done. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Finely chop the parsley and thyme, and mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon into the olive oil mixture and mix well.
Make three slashes on each side of the sea bream, then rub the marinade generously inside and outside of the fish. Stuff a few sprigs of parsley and thyme inside the cavity of each fish.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the sea bream on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The skin should be golden brown and slightly charred.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half over the grilled sea bream.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
