Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl add parsley, thyme, lemon zest, garlic, scallion, salt and pepper. Mix together and set aside.

Optional: Rinse your fish with lemon and vinegar.

Pat dry with a hand-towel to get rid of the excess water from the fish.

Make three large slices across the fish (diagonal) to make a pocket.

Season fish with salt and pepper. Then stuff the pocket of the fish and cavity with the herb mix. (if there is any remaining herb you can rub it all over the fish)

Place the fish on a foil paper and stuff the gut area with 1-2 tbsp butter, add the remaining butter on top of the fish then wrap the fish in the foil paper.

Place it on an oven rack and roast the fish for 30-45mins.

Remove fish from foil and then serve.
