Name: Delicious Roasted Branzino with Mediterranean Herbs and Citrus
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 1 red onion, chopped; Salt and ground black pepper to taste; 2 whole Branzino (sea bass), cleaned; 4 lemon wedges, divided; 2 sprigs fresh rosemary; ½ cup white wine; ¼ cup lemon juice; 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves; ¼ cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

Branzino, often referred to as Greek or European sea bass, is a tender, mild-flavored white fish that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean ingredients. I love roasting it whole, filled with lemon, fresh oregano, and rosemary, for a flavorful and satisfying dish.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large baking dish and add the chopped red onion. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the cleaned fish in the baking dish. Stuff each cavity with a lemon wedge, rosemary sprig, and some of the red onion from the pan.
4. Pour the white wine and lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with oregano. Pour the last tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
5. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Using a spatula, gently separate the fish from the bones. Serve on a platter, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
