Directions

  1. 1. Preheat the broiler; the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush the fish inside and out with a little butter or oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Lay them in a baking dish that can hold them, side by side, without crowding. Broil, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
  3. 3. Drizzle with more oil or butter and sprinkle with the garlic if you like; garnish with the parsley and serve hot.
