Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

02

Step
5 mins

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large baking pan. Add the chopped red onion and season generously with salt and pepper.

03

Step
5 mins

Place the two whole branzino fish into the prepared baking pan. Stuff the cavity of each fish with 1 lemon wedge, 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, and some of the seasoned red onion from the pan. Pour the white wine and lemon juice evenly over the fish. Sprinkle the chopped oregano over the fish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the fish.

04

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork, approximately 25 minutes.

05

Step
5 mins

Gently slide a spatula between the bones to separate the fish fillet from the skeleton. Carefully remove all the bones. Serve the fish on a warmed platter, garnished with fresh parsley and the remaining 2 lemon wedges.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few cloves of minced garlic to the stuffing.
To ensure even cooking, make sure the fish are roughly the same size.
The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the fish; check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork.
Serve with a simple side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the fish just before serving brightens the flavors.
