Combine jerk seasoning, chili flakes, ginger and garlic paste, all spice, olive oil, salt, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a bowl.

Stir everything perfectly to combine the marinade.

Make deep slant cuts on the fish to allow the marinade to penetrate the skin.

Generously pour the marinade on both sides of the fish, ensuring it gets into the cuts, head, and belly.

Massage the marinade into the fish thoroughly.

Let the fish marinate overnight for better flavor, but can cook immediately if desired.

Transfer the fish onto a rack in a lined baking pan.

Grill the fish in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes on each side.

Spray oil on top of the fish while grilling to achieve a crispy skin.

Check for doneness and serve.
