  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 2 halved lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Light a grill. Let the fish stand at room temperature for 20 minutes; pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Brush the fish all over with olive oil and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the parsley stems, garlic and lemon.
