• 2 sea bream (alternatively mackerel)
• 8 rosemary stalks
• 12 bay leaves
• 12 thyme stalks
• 2 organic lemons
• some hay
• 1 roll of butcher paper
preparation
➊ Marinate the sea bream in 3% brine overnight. Finely dice the lemons including the peel and fill the fish.
➋ Place about 10 layers of butcher paper on the worktop for each fish. Spread ¼ of the herbs between each layer. Place hay on the top layer and place the sea bream on top. Place another 10 layers of butcher paper with the rest of the herbs on top and tie everything together into two packages, then place in the sea bream's brine for a few minutes.
➌ Prepare the grill for direct grilling and place the soaked packages in the hot embers. Close the lid and set the grill to 160-180 °C. The sea bream will need 45-60 minutes depending on their size. Check the temperature inside the packages every now and then. It must be at 80 °C for 10 minutes.
