- Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, make three or four diagonal, parallel slashes on each side of fish, just about down to the bone.
- Sprinkle inside of fish with salt and pepper, then stuff with remaining garlic, a layer of lemon slices and thyme sprigs.
- Rub outside of fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
