Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (about 1 pound each) Sea bream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 whole Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the sea bream under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, score the skin of each fish with three diagonal cuts on each side. This will help the flavors penetrate and the fish to cook evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Rub the olive oil mixture generously over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts and the cavity of the fish.
Stuff the cavity of each sea bream with a sprig of rosemary and a few slices of the remaining lemon.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the sea bream on the preheated grill grates and cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
In the last 5 minutes of grilling, add the cherry tomatoes to the grill, cooking until they are slightly charred and softened.
Remove the fish and tomatoes from the grill. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
