Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat grill or grill pan to high. Pat fish dry and brush all over with olive oil.

  2. Step 2

    Season fish generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and half the chopped herbs.

  3. Step 3

    Slice lemon into thin rounds. Grill fish skin-side down 4–5 minutes without moving.

  4. Step 4

    Flip and grill 2–3 minutes more until opaque and flakes easily. Fish is done when it releases from the grate.

  5. Step 5

    Push fish to cooler side of grill. Char lemon slices 90 seconds per side until caramelized.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer fish and lemon to a plate. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and top with fresh herbs.
