- Also, season the pesto with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Preheat the broiler (or your oven- to 400 if thats what you're using).
- Coat a broiler pan with no-stick spray.
- Slice the fish through its side, cutting nearly to the skin.
- Be careful not to cut the fish in half.
- Stuff the fish with the pesto, reserving a few tablespoons of pesto.
- Spread the reserved pesto on the top and bottom of the fish.
- Place the fish on the prepared pan and broil 4\ from the heat for 10 minutes.
- Turn the fish over halfway through the cooking time.
- Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

- (To intensify the flavor, cover and refrigerate the stuffed fish for up to 8 hours..
