Ingredients

2 large sea bream gutted and cleaned
2 tbsp olive oil
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 large lemon thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
2 cloves garlic smashed

Instructions

Rinse the sea bream under cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper. Make three shallow slashes on both sides of each fish.
2 large sea bream
Rub the fish all over with olive oil, including inside the cavity. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper, making sure to get the seasoning into the slashes.
2 tbsp olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper
Place a few lemon slices, a sprig of thyme, and a smashed garlic clove inside the cavity of each fish.
1 large lemon, 4 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 cloves garlic
Preheat your barbecue to medium heat. Lightly oil the fish grill basket to prevent sticking.
Place the sea bream in the fish basket and close it securely. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill basket and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
