Step 1
Pat fish dry inside and out with paper towels. Make 3 shallow slashes on each side of the fish.
Step 2
Mix olive oil, garlic, and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Rub the herb oil all over the fish, inside the cavity and on the skin. Slice the lemon into rounds and stuff some inside each fish.
Step 4
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until very hot, ~3 minutes. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Grill fish 6–7 minutes per side without moving until the flesh flakes easily and the skin chars lightly.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately with any charred lemon slices.
