Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole fish (approximately 400g each) Sea Bream
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Parsley
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 5 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Instructions
Begin by preparing the sea bream. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure that the fish is scaled and gutted.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, juice of the lemon, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Brush the marinade over the entire surface of each fish, making sure to coat inside the cavity as well.
Stuff each fish cavity with a sprig of fresh thyme and a couple of thin slices of lemon for added aroma and flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high, ensuring the grate is clean; this will prevent the fish from sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the fish on the grate and grill for about 10-12 minutes on one side.
Carefully flip the fish using a spatula or tongs. Grill the other side for another 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the flesh is opaque.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the fish reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled sea bream with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
