Ingredients

  • 4 1-pound whole branzino-scaled and gutted, heads and tails removed

  • 4 bay leaf
  • 2 lemon- 1 thinly sliced, 1 cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp 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.
