Prepare the Branzino
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Clean the branzino under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to allow for even cooking.

Season the Fish
Generously season the cavity and the outside of the branzino with salt and black pepper. Stuff the cavity with lemon slices and a handful of fresh parsley.
