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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs (parsley and thyme), then sprinkle them generously over the fish.

Step 7

If using a whole fish, secure the cavity with toothpicks if you'd like the filling to stay in place.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
