Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole fish (approximately 1 pound each) Sea bream
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Start by preparing your sea bream. If not already done, have your fishmonger clean and gut the fish. Rinse the sea breams under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Score each side of the sea breams 2-3 times using a sharp knife. This allows the flavors to penetrate better during grilling.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Cut the lemon into thin slices.
Create a marinade by mixing the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.
Rub the marinade all over the sea breams, making sure to get it into the scored slits.
Stuff each sea bream with half of the lemon slices, 2 rosemary sprigs, 3 thyme sprigs, and half of the garlic slices.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the stuffed sea breams on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and the skin is crispy and slightly charred.
Use a wide spatula to carefully flip the fish halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove the sea breams from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled sea breams whole, garnished with fresh lemon wedges and additional herbs if desired.
