Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon, cut in half
1 2-pound whole striped bass, cleaned, scored to bone in 4 places on each side
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green onions (about 2)
3 tablespoons (packed) chopped fresh mint plus 4 whole sprigs

Oh my, it was just divine! The crispy skin of the bass and the tangy lemon-mint sauce were a match made in culinary heaven.
