Step 1
Pat fish dry inside and out with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Stuff each fish cavity with half the chopped herbs. Brush skin and lemon slices generously with olive oil.
Step 3
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high until oil shimmers when flicked on the surface, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Grill fish 5 minutes per side without moving. Skin should be charred and opaque; flesh flakes when prodded.
Step 5
Grill lemon slices 2 minutes per side until caramelized and soft.
Step 6
Transfer fish to a plate. Arrange charred lemon alongside and drizzle with any pan juices. Serve hot.
