Step 1
Pat the fish dry inside and out with paper towels. Stuff each cavity with lemon slices, herb sprigs, and crushed garlic.
Step 2
Rub the exterior generously with olive oil, then season all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Lay the fish on the grill without moving. Cook 7–8 minutes until the skin is charred and crispy.
Step 5
Flip gently and cook the other side 6–7 minutes until the flesh flakes at the thickest point near the spine.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and drizzle with best-quality olive oil. Serve immediately.
