Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas6. Wash the fish and pat it dry with kitchen paper.
- Lay the fish on a large roasting tin on baking parchment. Rub with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Score the skin 3-4 times on the top of the fish and stuff each cavity with thyme, garlic and a lemon slice. Stuff the fish with 3 lemon slices, the rest of the garlic and parsley stalks (keep the leaves aside for decor, to keep their vitamins).
- Surround the fish with roughly chopped potatoes, tomatoes, rest of the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Dribble over the rest of the olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the finely chopped parsley leaves and serve.
