Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and scale the Branzino, then make three diagonal slits on each side. Rub the fish inside and out with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the asparagus on the grill alongside the fish. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce Grenobloise

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice and capers, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the grilled Branzino to a serving platter. Arrange the grilled asparagus and sliced heirloom tomatoes around the fish. Drizzle the sauce grenobloise over the fish before serving.
