Ingredients

  • 1 whole (about 1 lb) sea bream
  • 12 oz baby potatoes
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Boil the 12 oz baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes; drain and slice in half.

  2. 2

    Rub the whole sea bream with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt, inside and out. Slice the lemon into rounds; tuck a few slices inside the fish.

  3. 3

    Grill the fish for 5-6 minutes per side, until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Toss the sliced potatoes with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and juice from the leftover lemon. Grill alongside the fish for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until golden.

  5. 5

    Serve the fish with potatoes, scattered with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and extra lemon wedges.
