Step 1
Heat grill to medium-high. Pat fish dry inside and out, then brush lightly with oil.
Step 2
Slice 1 lemon thin. Stuff each fish cavity with lemon slices and half the fresh herbs.
Step 3
Season fish generously with salt and pepper. Grill 5–6 minutes per side without moving until skin crisps and flesh flakes easily.
Step 4
While fish cooks, warm roasted potatoes and beet sauce in a small skillet over medium, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Plate warm rice, then top with grilled fish. Serve roasted potatoes and beet sauce alongside.
Step 6
Squeeze remaining lemon half over fish. Garnish with remaining herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
