Do take the trouble to get fresh lemon thyme – the nursery is your best bet. It will thrive in a pot in any sunny spot.
Method
Mix all the marinade ingredients together. Place the fish, skin side down on a large ovenproof platter and spread the marinade over the meaty side. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Remove the cling film and bake the fish open for 20-25 minutes.
Serve at room temperature, still slightly warm or well chilled. It tastes great at any temperature.
Garnish with fresh lemon thyme.
