Scale the fish, clean it internally, wash it well and dry it.

Make parallel and transverse cuts on one side of the pagello's surface.

Season the fish with salt and pepper inside.

Place the fish on a well-oiled baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of oil.

Chop the garlic with the parsley.

Mix the breadcrumbs, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of oil with the chopped mixture.

Sprinkle the fish on both sides with the prepared mixture.

Wash the lemon well and cut it first in half lengthwise and then into slices.

Place the longer slices in the cuts made on the fish and the others around.

Drizzle the fish with the remaining oil.

Bake the fish in the oven at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes.
