Bronzino Fish Grilled Recipe
October 19th, 2009 | by admin | 442 views
Branzino, also called European sea bass, is a delicate white fish with a slightly sweet, nutty taste. You can also use striped bass or sea bream in this recipe. You will need kitchen twine to tie the fish; soak it in cold water for thirty minutes before using to prevent it from burning on the grill. Instead of cooking the fish directly on the grill rack, you can cook each in a cast-iron skillet placed on the grill.
- ACTIVE: 15 MIN
- TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN
- SERVINGS: 4
Ingredients
- Four 1-pound whole branzino—scaled and gutted, heads and tails removed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 4 bay leaves
- 2 lemons—1 thinly sliced, 1 cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Finely chopped parsley, for serving
Directions
1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the fish cavities with salt and pepper. Stuff each cavity with a thyme sprig, a bay leaf and 2 lemon slices. Rub the outside of the branzino with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Grill the branzino over high heat, turning once, until browned and crisp and just cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Serve right away, passing salt, lemon wedges and parsley at the table.
