Prepare the fish fillets by rinsing them under cold water.

In a large pot, add enough water to cover the fish and bring to a boil.

Add salt, bay leaves, and a splash of olive oil to the boiling water.

Reduce heat to a simmer and carefully add the fish fillets.

Cook the fish for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.

While the fish cooks, finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs.

In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh herbs.

Once the fish is done, carefully remove it from the pot and drain excess water.

Plate the fish and drizzle the garlic herb mixture over the top.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish before serving.
