Whole Grilled Sawara with Garlic Parsley Stuffing

Grilled whole, this is one of the simplest fish dishes you can make on a busy weeknight. We love the slightly charred skin and juicy flavorful flesh of this delicious grilled Sawara. This is a dish best enjoyed with warm crusty bread or a simple fresh salad on the side.
