Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams line fish (whole or fillet)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
If using a whole fish, clean and gut the fish, then pat it dry with paper towels. If using fillets, ensure they are fresh and pat them dry as well.
Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Brush the mixture over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and insert a few slices inside the cavity of the fish (if whole) or lay them over the fillets.
Finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs (parsley and thyme), then sprinkle them generously over the fish.
If using a whole fish, secure the cavity with toothpicks if you'd like the filling to stay in place.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
