Grilled Branzino

Confit Jerusalem Artichokes

Heirloom Carrot & Chive Salad

Black Olive Tapenade

Method

Grilled Branzino

  1. 1

    Prepare the Branzino

    Clean the Branzino thoroughly, removing any scales and innards. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice (squeezed from half the lemon), fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture inside the cavity and on the skin of the fish. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated Branzino on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Confit Jerusalem Artichokes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Artichokes

    Scrub the Jerusalem artichokes under running water to remove dirt. Slice them into thin rounds.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the sliced artichokes, garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, olive oil, and salt. Ensure the artichokes are fully submerged in oil.

  3. 6

    Confit the Artichokes

    Heat the saucepan over low heat and let it simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes until the artichokes are tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Heirloom Carrot & Chive Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Carrots

    Peel the heirloom carrots and cut them into thin strips or ribbons using a peeler or mandoline.

  2. 8

    Make the Salad Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 9

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, toss the carrot strips with the dressing and finely chopped chives until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Black Olive Tapenade

  1. 10

    Prepare Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine black olives, capers, and garlic clove.

  2. 11

    Blend the Tapenade

    Pulse the ingredients while gradually adding olive oil and lemon juice until a coarse paste is formed. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Transfer the tapenade to a bowl and serve alongside the grilled Branzino and salad.
