This fish is one of my favorites. It’s light, mild, and almost buttery, and branzino is much less fatty than sea bass. I love how easy it is to prepare! Supper on the table in no time, with a creamy side of mashed potatoes.
4 branzino fillets
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
Salt, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Splash of orange juice
½ teaspoon ginger
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets and place in a baking pan.
- Sprinkle the fillets with salt and lemon pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, and ginger.
- Pour over the fish. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Then baste once. Bake for 20 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings
