Ingredients 1 whole Spanish mackerel (about 2 pounds), cleaned, head and tail left intact Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 lemon, thinly sliced 6 sprigs thyme 6 sprigs flat-leaf parsley 12 fresh chives Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a sharp knife, make a few slashes in skin on both sides of fish. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle fish on both sides with oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange a few lemon slices in cavity, and tuck the rest underneath fish. Tuck a handful of herbs into cavity; coarsely chop remainder and sprinkle over fish. Roast until fish is opaque and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, use a thin-bladed knife to cut fillet free from top side of fish. Gently transfer fillet to a cutting board with a spatula. Starting from the tail, slowly lift spine to separate it from bottom fillet. Slice each fillet crosswise into three portions; serve.
