👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 200°C/400°F). Make sure the fish is scaled, gutted, and cleaned, then pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.
2. Make a few diagonal slits on both sides of the fish. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then season inside and out with salt and black pepper.
3. Stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices and fresh oregano and parsley sprigs. If grilling, place the fish directly on the preheated grill grates; if baking, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Grill or bake for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fish.
5. Carefully remove the tsipoura from the grill or oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges for squeezing.
