1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves (use local parsley if unavailable)

1 clove garlic, sliced

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1. Blend mayonnaise, shallots and capers till smooth and well-combined. Add enough lemon juice to achieve a pouring consistency. Season with salt and pepper; cover and refrigerate till about to use.

2. Score or make cuts on fish through the thickest part, three time on each side. Fill fish cavity with lemon juices, bay leaves, parsley and garlic. Drizzle outside of fish with oil, then sprinkle salt and pepper.

3. Place fish in an oiled hinged fish grill, or wrap in lightly oiled foil.

4. Cook fish in a covered barbecue, using indirect heat and following the manufacturer’s instructions, for about 20 mins or till fish is cooked through.
