Ingredients

2 lemons
8 to 10 sprigs fresh parsley (plus 1 tablespoon chopped)
extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh black pepper (to taste)

Preheat the oven to 450F.
Slice 1 of the lemons thin, the second into wedges.
Place the lemon slices on a large sheet pan lined with parchment arranged in the center just under the fish.
