Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Pat the 1 whole fish dry with paper towels and score the skin 2-3 times on each side.
Step 2
Chop the 0.5 cup fresh herbs and mix with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Stuff this mixture into the fish's cavity.
Step 3
Rub the outside of the fish with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the rest of the salt and pepper. Place the fish on the grill.
Step 4
Grill the fish for 6-8 minutes per side, until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
While the fish cooks, slice the 1 lemon, 1 tomato, and 1 bell pepper into rounds.
Step 6
Transfer the grilled fish to a platter and arrange the lemon, tomato, and bell pepper slices around it. Serve hot.
Step 7
Optional: add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of extra olive oil before serving.
