I have made this dish so many time, it's so easy and very simple. I am using Sea Bass or as it's called in Mediterranean Branzino fish. This fish will be very moist and flavorful, if you leave the head and the bone in.

2 medium whole branzino fish or sea bass gutted and cleaned

2 lemonsthinly sliced

2 sprigs of rosemary

2 sprigs of flat-leaf parley

1 tsp dry thyme

1 pinch coarse salt as needed

1 pinch black pepper

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F.

Rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry. Then place the fish on a lightly oiled baking pan. Lightly rub with olive oil and season with sea salt, pepper and thyme inside out.

Then inside the cavity arrange parsley, rosemary and sliced lemons (3-4 slices for each fish).

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Then place the pan in the broil for 2 more minutes to crisp the skin.

Remove from oven and drizzle with olive oil and finish with squeeze of lemon.
