Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Fish
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the fish on a cutting board and make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.
Prepare the Vegetables
In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake the Fish
Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Surround the fish with the seasoned cherry tomatoes. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the branzino with the roasted cherry tomatoes and additional lemon wedges on the side.
