Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (about 1 lb each, scaled and gutted) Sea bream
- 1 whole Fresh lemon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the sea bream under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Gently score the skin of each fish on both sides with a sharp knife, making 2-3 shallow cuts.
Rub the marinade all over both sea breams, ensuring that the mixture gets into the scored areas and the cavity of each fish.
Place a few slices of lemon and a sprig of parsley inside the cavity of each fish for added flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the sea bream on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Using a spatula, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
