Whole fish with herbs and lemon

Ingredients

4 whole red mullet or round fish of your choice, cleaned (ask your fishmonger to prepare it for you)

2 lemons, chopped, and wedges for serving

large handful fresh thyme stalks

olive oil


A simple recipe that lets the fresh ingredients speak for themselves - especially if the fish is freshly caught.

Method

1 Rinse the fish inside and out, and pat dry. Make diagonal cuts on both sides, then stuff the body with lemon and thyme.

2 Brush with oil, then put the fish into a fish rack or straight onto the barbecue. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, turning halfway through. The flesh should be firm and will just give slightly when ready. Serve with lemon wedges.
