For Lemon Butter Sauce:
1 stick salted butter, 4oz
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 TB lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 TB parsley, or chives, freshly chopped
Table salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For Branzino:
3 whole branzino, about 1 ¼ pounds each, scaled and cleaned
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F with rack on lower middle position.
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until it’s liquid and hot. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute, or until onion/garlic mixture is golden brown.
Turn off heat. Add lemon juice, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ pepper, and parsley. Cover and keep sauce at room temp or slightly warmer.
Prepare the Branzino
Use paper towels to dry any excess moisture from branzino. Use a sharp knife to cut deep, 2-inch slits, about 1-inch apart along both sides of fish. Place fish on a large foil or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Season each branzino cavity with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ pepper. Stuff each cavity with 2 or 3 lemon slices. Brush both sides of each fish generously with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides of each fish with a light layer of salt and pepper.
Roast in oven for 10 minutes. Quickly remove fish from oven, move oven rack to upper position, and place fish under the broiler. Broil on high for 5 minutes, watching closely and rotating the pan as needed.
Serve immediately, with lemon butter sauce.
