INGREDIENTS
6 oz Branzino Fillet
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 medium Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the branzino fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, freshly chopped parsley, and thyme.
Drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the fillet and then press the breadcrumb-herb mixture onto the oiled surface to create an even crust.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the herb-crusted branzino skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust becomes golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, slice the lemon. Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish for a bright, zesty finish.
Plate the branzino and garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
