Description

branzino

Branzino, often referred to as Greek or European sea bass, is a tender, mild-flavored white fish that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean ingredients. I love roasting it whole, filled with lemon, fresh oregano, and rosemary, for a flavorful and satisfying dish.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 whole Branzino (sea bass), cleaned
  • 4 lemon wedges, divided
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
  1. 1
    branzino
    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
    2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large baking dish and add the chopped red onion. Season with salt and pepper.
    3. Place the cleaned fish in the baking dish. Stuff each cavity with a lemon wedge, rosemary sprig, and some of the red onion from the pan.
    4. Pour the white wine and lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with oregano. Pour the last tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
    5. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
    6. Using a spatula, gently separate the fish from the bones. Serve on a platter, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.

Cook’s Tips

  • For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes on the fish before baking.
  • You can add vegetables like celery, peppers, or tomatoes to the dish for added flavor.
  • Grilling the fish is another option—just flip it once while cooking for an extra char.
