Step 1
Heat grill or grill pan to high. Pat fish dry and brush all over with olive oil.
Step 2
Season fish generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and half the chopped herbs.
Step 3
Slice lemon into thin rounds. Grill fish skin-side down 4–5 minutes without moving.
Step 4
Flip and grill 2–3 minutes more until opaque and flakes easily. Fish is done when it releases from the grate.
Step 5
Push fish to cooler side of grill. Char lemon slices 90 seconds per side until caramelized.
Step 6
Transfer fish and lemon to a plate. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and top with fresh herbs.
