Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the branzino by removing the scales and innards. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rub the fish inside and out with olive oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Slice the lemon and stuff it inside the cavity of the fish along with garlic cloves and fresh parsley.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    In a baking dish, arrange the cherry tomatoes and capers. Place the branzino on top of the tomatoes. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and additional seasoning if desired.

  4. 4

    Bake the Fish

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the foil and let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
