Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole Branzino (cleaned and scaled)
- 1 large Lemon
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Rinse the Branzino fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Cut half of the lemon into thin slices and reserve the other half for juice. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine salt and black pepper.
Rub the inside and outside of each Branzino with olive oil, then season generously with the salt and pepper mixture.
Stuff the cavity of each Branzino with 2 rosemary sprigs, 3 thyme sprigs, 2 garlic cloves (lightly crushed), and several lemon slices.
Place the Branzino on the hot grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a fish spatula to turn the fish gently.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Squeeze the reserved lemon juice over the fish just before serving.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
