Ingredients:
1 pound (454 g) whole sea bass, cleaned and scaled
3 tablespoons (45 ml) chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons (45 ml) chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) coarse salt
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) whole black peppercorns
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
2 lemon wedges
Method:
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Blitz basil, oregano, salt, peppercorns, garlic clove, and olive oil in a food processor until the mixture resembles the consistency of pesto. Rub mixture onto the skin of the fish and within the cavity. Grill for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
