Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Wash the fish, remove the gills and entrails if present.

Step 2

Rinse the fish once more inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Thinly slice 1 clove of garlic and set it aside.

Step 4

Place the second clove in a mortar, add a large pinch of salt, whole peppercorns, and grind everything together into a paste.

Step 5

Squeeze lemon juice into the resulting paste, add vegetable oil, and mix well.

Step 6

Place the fish on a piece of foil folded in half (large enough to wrap the fish completely), and rub garlic paste both inside and out.

Step 7

Chop about a third of the herbs, add the chopped garlic, and place them inside the cavity of the fish.

Step 8

Cover the fish with the remaining herbs and place the squeezed half of the lemon inside as well.

Step 9

Carefully wrap the fish in foil and place it in a preheated oven at 355°F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the fish from the oven; carefully, to avoid burning yourself, unwrap the foil, remove the herbs, and using a fork to lift from the back, take off the entire fillet. Similarly, separate the second fillet.

Step 11

Serve the fish with boiled potatoes and homemade pickles.
