Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Clean the Fish

    Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure it is cleaned and scaled.

  3. 3

    Seasoning

    Rub the outside and inside of the fish with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Place lemon slices and parsley inside the fish cavity.

  4. 4

    Add Herbs

    Insert fresh thyme sprigs into the cavity along with the lemon and parsley.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fish

    Place the prepared branzino on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with extra lemon slices and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
