Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the 1 whole fish dry with paper towels and season inside and out with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Place the fish in a baking dish. Scatter 2 cups cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup olives around it. Drizzle everything with 3 tbsp olive oil.
Step 3
Slice 1 lemon into rounds and tuck half the slices inside the fish cavity, along with a few basil leaves. Lay the remaining lemon slices over the fish.
Step 4
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes are bursting and juicy.
Step 5
Remove from oven and scatter the remaining basil and 1/4 cup parsley over the top. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
