My son went fishing and caught awhole lot of big snapper which I shared out with neighbours.

This large one I baked in the oven for 30 minutes


Prep time 5 minutes

Ingredients
1 snapper or bream, cleaned and scaled.

1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
2 lemons
Around 1 tablespoon olive oil
Pepper n salt

Method

1.Preheat oven 190 °C or 170°C fan-forced
Line a baking tray with doubled layer baking paper

2. Place whole fish on baking paper. Make 3 deep slits across body of fish.

3. To the inside of fish add garlic, parsley and slices of one lemon.

4. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt n pepper on top and bake in oven ( see notes)

5. Serve immediately. Goes well with steamed greens or tossed salad or add tomato halves and sliced capsicum to pan at the same time as fish

Notes

Cooking time depends on size of fish.
The fish I cooked was 1.2kg and I baked for 30 minutes.
A fish under 1kg cook for 20 minutes or until cooked. Check using a fork
