Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your Branzino cooks evenly and develops a nice roasted flavor.
- 2
Prepare the Branzino
Rinse the Branzino fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
- 3
Season the Fillets
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- 4
Prepare Lemon and Parsley
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half over the fillets and place the other half inside the cavity of each fillet along with a few sprigs of fresh parsley.
- 5
Place in Baking Dish
Arrange the fillets in a baking dish or on a lined baking tray, skin side down.
- 6
Roast the Fillets
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the skin is crispy.

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.
