Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the cavity and skin with salt and black pepper.
Brown the Butter
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Add Lemon Juice and Parsley
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the browned butter and garlic mixture over the fish, add the lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
