Step 1
Start rice in a pot with 2 cups salted water; bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender, ~18 minutes.
Step 2
Pat fish dry inside and out. Score skin diagonally 2–3 times. Season generously with salt and pepper inside the cavity and all over.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until very hot. Lightly oil the grates, then place fish on grill.
Step 4
Grill 6–7 minutes per side without moving until skin is golden and crispy and flesh flakes easily at the thickest part.
Step 5
Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Drizzle over finished fish.
Step 6
Serve fish over rice alongside farofa, lime wedges, and tomato slices. Finish with extra herb oil and flake of salt.
