👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Pat the cleaned snapper dry with paper towels, then make a few diagonal scores on each side of the fish to help it cook evenly and absorb flavors.
3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh thyme.
4. Rub the fish generously inside and out with the herb-oil mixture, ensuring it gets into the scores, then season well with salt and black pepper.
5. Stuff the fish cavity with lemon slices and any remaining herb mixture; place the fish on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra lemon wedges for a fresh burst of flavor.
