Fish Preparation

1. 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.

2. 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.

Cooking

3. Bake the Fish

Place the branzino on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

4. Prepare the Meunière Sauce

While the fish is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the capers and fresh lemon juice, stirring everything together.

5. Serve the Dish

Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven. Carefully transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the meunière sauce over the fish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
