1
Clean the Fish
Rinse the whole branzino under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure the fish is scaled and gutted.
2
Prepare the Aromatics
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely. Slice the garlic cloves and set aside.

3
Stuff the Fish
In the cavity of the branzino, place the chopped parsley, dill, sliced garlic, and half of the lemon (cut into wedges).

4
Season the Fish
Rub the outside of the fish with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides.
5
Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the branzino on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Bake the Fish
Bake the branzino in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

7
Serve
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges on the side.
