Fish

Onions

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Clean and Prepare the Branzino

    Rinse the whole branzino under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make 3-4 diagonal slits on each side of the fish.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the branzino, including inside the cavity.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon and Parsley

    Stuff the cavity of the branzino with lemon slices and chopped parsley.

Preparation of Onions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Onions

    Cut the yellow onions into wedges. In a bowl, toss the onions with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Char the Onions

    Place the seasoned onion wedges on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

  3. 7

    Grill the Branzino

    Place the prepared branzino directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Carefully remove the fish from the grill, and serve it alongside the charred onions. Enjoy!
