Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

  2. 2

    Rinse the branzino under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Rub the outside and inside of the fish with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Stuff the cavity of the fish with parsley, thyme, rosemary, sliced garlic, and lemon slices.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Place the stuffed branzino on the grill. Grill for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.

  2. 6

    Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the fish to prevent tearing the skin.

Serving

  1. 7

    Remove the fish from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes.

  2. 8

    Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with lemon wedges.
