Branzino is a mild white fish. Itβs tender, subtly sweet, and takes on flavor really well. All it needs is a few sprigs of fresh thyme, thin slices of lemon, flaky salt, and a drizzle of good olive oil.
INGREDIENTS:
4 branzino fillets
1 lemon, thinly sliced
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, sliced or minced
2 tbsps olive oil
Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Pat the fish dry and place it skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Layer lemon slices, 4 cloves chopped garlic, and a few sprigs thyme evenly over the fillets. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Roast for 12β15 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through
You can fish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving and enjoy!
