Seabass in foil

he easiest and safest way to cook whole fish is to bake it in herbal foil. The main task is not to overexpose in the oven!

Ingredients

• 2 sea bass, 350-450 g each
• half a thin-horned little lemon
• 4 sprigs thyme
• olive oil
• salt, freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180 ° C. Scale the fish, remove the gills from the head.
2. Cut open the abdomen, remove the insides. Rinse the fish well outside and inside, pat dry with paper towels.
3. Make 3 diagonal, not very deep cuts on one side of each fish. Rub the inside and outside of the carcasses with salt and pepper. Place 2 sprigs of thyme inside.
4. Tear off 2 long (40-50 cm) pieces of foil, oil on one side. Lay the fish on the oily side and wrap it so that one side remains open and tucked in at the sides.
5. Slice the lemon into thin circles, cut the circles in half, and insert into the notches on the side of the fish.
6. Bake in the center of the oven on the wire rack for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. Serve immediately.
