Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 branzini gutted and scaled (about 1-1.5 lbs each, whole
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter melted, unsalted
  • 2 tbsp capers drained
  • 4 garlic minced, cloves
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • tarragon optional, fresh

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the branzini.
  3. Place tarragon in a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil or a ceramic baking dish.
  4. Rub the cavity and the skin of the branzini with salt, black pepper, and optional olive oil.
  5. Stuff the cavity of each fish with a few slices of lemon and half the diced garlic.
  6. In a bowl, combine melted butter, remaining garlic, and capers.
  7. Spread the butter mixture over the fish and place the remaining lemon slices on top.
  8. Put the roasting pan in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. The fish should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the flesh should flake easily.
  9. Once out of the oven, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley for color and added flavor.
