Method

Preparation of Branzino

  1. 1

    Clean the Fish

    Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure the fish is scaled and gutted.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper. Rub this mixture all over the branzino, including the cavity. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Roasting Tomatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Roast Tomatoes

    Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are blistered and tender.

Making Sweet Corn Purée

  1. 5

    Cook Corn

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweet corn kernels, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender.

  2. 6

    Purée the Mixture

    Transfer the corn mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Grilling the Branzino

  1. 7

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill the Fish

    Place the marinated branzino on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving
