Ingredients
Scale

- Zest of one lemon;
- 2 lemons, one sliced and the other halved;
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler.
- Slash the sides of your fishes about 8 times each side with a knife so the butter or oil can make its way in.

- Stuff the cavity with the chopped parsley, dill and lemon slices.
- Put the fish on a baking rack on a pan for the drippings.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest on top of the fish and add generous knobs of butter on the fish to form a wonderful golden crust.

Notes
Put the fish in a snug-fitting dish so the cooking juices can stay on the fish while cooking. Interesting flavors can be built by putting vegetables under the fish and inside the cavity while cooking. Think lemon slices, fennel, garlic, onion, parsley, dill, carrots, thyme, and rosemary. The possibilities are endless!
