Time 1h25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 1/2-pound) fish, such as snapper or bass, scaled, gutted and gills removed
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 lemon slices
2 fresh bay leaves
1 bundle assorted fresh herbs, such as thyme, oregano, marjoram and parsley, plus some extra to lay the fish on while baking
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make 3 diagonal slices about 1/2-inch deep on each side of the fish. Salt and olive oil the fish generously.
  • Season the inside of the fish with salt and olive oil. Place 4 lemon slices, the bay leaves, a bundle of the mixed herbs and 2 of the garlic cloves inside the body cavity.
  • Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil and arrange the remaining assorted herbs, lemon slices and garlic in the center of the tray and lay the fish on top.
  • Fold the aluminum foil up around the sides of the fish to create a sort of baking dish. Add the white wine and place in the preheated oven and roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, present and collect your kudos then fillet to serve.
