Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fish whole branzino, cleaned and scaled
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the branzino fish inside and out under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Using a brush or your hands, coat the inside and outside of each branzino with the garlic oil mixture.
Stuff each fish with lemon slices, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and 2 sprigs of thyme.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the branzino on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
