Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat a large skillet until very hot.

2. Meanwhile, rub each fish and its cavity with olive oil and season, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Stuff each cavity with a few sprigs of thyme and a lemon slice.

3. Cook the pancetta in the hot skillet until lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. In the same hot skillet, sear the fish, 1 minute per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

Roast in the oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
