Roasted Branzino w/ Greek Dressing
Preheat the oven to 400o.
INGREDIENTS
For Branzino:
1 whole branzino, cleaned and sliced along the bottom length of the fish (Barth’s takes care of that for you)
Salt and pepper
1 lemon, sliced into rings
½ red onion sliced into rings
¾ pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, cleaned and cut in half
Fresh dill
For Dressing:
¼ cup lemon juice
2 t minced garlic
2 t fresh minced oregano
½ t salt
¼ t black pepper
½ cup olive oil
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Stuff the Branzino with lemon and onion slices, and sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Roast for about 6 minutes, flip the fish and roast an additional 6 minutes, until the fish is cooked.
Turn on the broiler and broil the fish 1-2 minutes per side, careful not to scorch it! While the fish is cooking, whisk all ingredients of the dressing until well combined.
Line a plate with dill. Place cooked fish on the center of the plate. Sprinkle cherry tomatoes around the fish. Drizzle the dressing over the fish and tomatoes.
This recipe is for oven-roasted branzino; For grilled branzino, head to Barth’s for one of their grilling planks. Follow the instructions on the plank package. The plank will help achieve a moist fish and will keep it from sticking to the grill.
