Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the inside and outside of the fish with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Fish

    Place lemon slices inside the cavity of the fish to infuse flavor during roasting.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    In a baking dish, melt the butter and then pour in the white wine. Add the capers to the dish.

  5. 5

    Roast the Fish

    Place the branzino in the baking dish with the melted butter, wine, and capers. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Branzino Piccata!
