Ingredients
- 2 fish Sea bream, whole and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lemon, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure an even cooking temperature.
Step 2
Rinse the sea bream under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 diagonal slashes on both sides of each fish, roughly 1 inch apart. This helps the flavors penetrate the fish and ensures even cooking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Rub the olive oil and garlic mixture all over the outside and inside of the sea bream, ensuring the slashes and the cavity are well-coated.
Step 6
Stuff the cavity of each fish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, and slices from half of the large lemon.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place the seasoned sea bream on the grill.
Step 8
Cook the fish for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Turn carefully using a wide spatula.
Step 9
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately with the remaining lemon slices on the side for additional flavor as desired.
