Step 1

Score the surface of the fish with a sharp knife in 3 or 4 places, to help the flavors penetrate better. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemongrass and herbs if used, on all the sides of the fish as well in the inside. Place them into a bowl, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 450F (230C), grill function.

Step 3

Place the fish over the rack of the oven and place the rack on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil,  so all the grease can drip there. Sprinkle a little butter or vegetable oil over the fish. Place in the preheated oven.

Step 4

Let the fish cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and a bit golden. Make sure you keep an eye on it as you don't want to let it burn.

Step 5

Meanwhile prepare the sour cream mixture, by combining sour cream with minced garlic and salt.

Step 6

Remove the fish form the oven and serve with the sour cream mixture, some lemon sauce or simply some lemon slices alongside you favorite side dish.
