Slice shallot and place ½ of the slices and a little tarragon inside each fish.
Brush fish lightly with oil on both sides. Lightly oil grill or broiling pan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.

Tips: Baked potatoes and whole-grain bread go equally well with this dish. You can also serve a light vegetable salad for a well-balanced meal.
Red bream is ideal for barbecuing, but it shouldn't weigh more than 14 ounces. You can substitute the slightly more expensive yellow bream, also sold as dorado.
