Ingredients

• 2 whole fish Fresh sea bream
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean and gut the sea bream if not already done. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Finely chop the parsley and thyme, and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon into the olive oil mixture and mix well.

Step 5

Make three slashes on each side of the sea bream, then rub the marinade generously inside and outside of the fish. Stuff a few sprigs of parsley and thyme inside the cavity of each fish.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the sea bream on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The skin should be golden brown and slightly charred.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half over the grilled sea bream.

Step 9

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
