Mix kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne to create seasoned salt.

Season the inside cavity of the bronzeno fish with the seasoned salt.

Stuff the cavity with fresh chive, tarragon, Italian parsley, and coriander flowers.

Drizzle olive oil over the outside of the fish and season with the salt and spice mix.

Wrap the fish in parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the grill with mature charcoal, ensuring the coals are ashy.

Place the fish on the grill perpendicular to the grates.

Cook the first side for about 4 minutes until the skin releases from the grill.

Flip the fish using a spatula and tongs, cooking the second side for another 4 minutes.

Cover the grill with a lid to create a roasting environment and reduce oxygen to the coals.

Check the internal temperature of the fish, aiming for 135°F in the thickest spot.

Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt before serving.
