method
1. Set the oven at 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
2. Lay each mullet on a piece of foil large enough to enclose it completely. Dot with butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and add a little lemon juice. Fasten the packages by folding the edges of the foil firmly together over the fish.
3. Put the fish packages on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes. Remove from the foil, taking care to save the cooking juices. Transfer the fish to a warmed platter, pour over the cooking juices and serve at once, garnished with lemon and parsley.
