4 servings · 55 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 4 servings.
- 1.5 kg Barramundi or sea bass, whole, gutted
- 1 tsp Lemon myrtle, or lemon zest
- 3 piece Limes
- 4 clove Garlic
- 80 g Butter
- 30 g Parsley
- 1 piece Fennel
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 800 g Potatoes, to serve
- to taste Salt and pepper
Method
- Cut three slashes on each side of the fish and pat it completely dry.
- Work the garlic with the butter, lemon myrtle, lime zest, salt and pepper.
- Rub the mixture into the slashes and the cavity and tuck slices of lime and fennel inside.
- Wrap the fish in foil with the seams on top so the juices do not run out.
- Light the coals and rake them to the sides; the heat under the fish has to be indirect.
- Cook it in the foil for twenty minutes, turning the parcel once halfway.
- Unwrap it, move the fish onto an oiled grate over the coals and give it a minute a side for the crust.
