Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Slice and juice the lemons (you should get about 1 tsp of juice). Mince the garlic. Remove the celery leaves and finely dice the stalks. Trim the roots off the coriander, wash it, and break it into small sprigs. Combine the lemon juice with the soy sauce, sugar, and pepper, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Prepare the fish

Scale and gut the fish, scraping off the black membrane inside the belly. Coat the fish evenly with the prepared marinade, place it on an oiled plate, and arrange the lemon slices on top of the fish.
