💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Pat the fish dry well with paper towels and cut diagonal slashes on both sides.
Knife
💡The slashes let the seasoning in and the heat reach the thick flesh near the back, so the fish cooks evenly.
3
Mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper and paprika and spread the mixture over the fish, inside and out.
4
Put the lemon slices, garlic, parsley and dill into the belly of the fish.
5
Close the belly of the fish with toothpicks.
Toothpick
6

💡The fish is done when the flesh near the backbone is white and flakes easily with a fork; a white, opaque eye is another sign.
8
Serve immediately with squeezed lemon and more herbs.
