Whole Branzino Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Branzino

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the branzino under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season the inside and outside of the fish with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Stuff the Fish

   Stuff the cavity of the branzino with sliced garlic and a few lemon slices. Drizzle some olive oil over the fish for added flavor.

3. 3

   Grill the Branzino

   Place the branzino on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

4. 4

   Prepare the Cavolo Nero

   While the fish is grilling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cavolo nero and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Grill the Lemon

   Cut the lemon in half and place it cut-side down on the grill for about 2-3 minutes, until grill marks appear.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and serve it alongside the sautéed cavolo nero and grilled lemon halves.
