Caribbean Fish Grill

Ingredients

• 2whole fish
• 2 tbspolive oil
• lemon — sliced
• herbs — chopped
• to tastefine sea salt and black pepper

Method

1. Rinse the 2 whole fish under cold running water to remove any scales or debris. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels, ensuring the skin is dry to achieve a crisp finish when grilling. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish to help the flavors penetrate and to ensure even cooking.
2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs of your choice, such as thyme, parsley, or cilantro. Season the mixture with fine sea salt and black pepper to taste, stirring until well combined.
3. Rub the oil and herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the fish, including inside the slashes and cavity. This will infuse the fish with flavor and help keep it moist during grilling.
4. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the fish on the grill pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
5. Carefully flip the fish using a wide spatula. Continue to grill the other side until the flesh is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, which indicates the fish is perfectly cooked. The skin should be crisp and golden brown.
6. Remove the fish from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the top for a fresh, zesty finish. Taste a small piece of the fish and adjust the seasoning with more sea salt if needed before serving.
