Whole Branzino

Bring the Mediterranean straight to your table 🌞🐟

It’s everything you want for a fresh, effortless spring dinner: tender, flaky fish seasoned with lemon, garlic, oregano and dill, roasted to perfection. Served with a bright lemon peel, grape & arugula salad, plus creamy hummus, cool tzatziki, and other Mediterranean dips, perfect for sharing and savoring.

The best part? @WholeFoods Market’s Seafood department has your back. All their seafood is responsibly farmed or sustainably wild-caught, fully traceable from farm to fishery, and your local fishmonger can help with shucking, cutting, and deboning. High-quality ingredients + effortless prep = Mediterranean magic at home.

Here is the recipe for my epic Arugula Salad:
For the grape, arugula & lemon salad
3 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp chili flakes
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
peel from 1/2 a lemon, cut into thin strips
¼ cup white mediterranean wine
2 tsp dijon mustard
3 tsp honey
4 tbsp slivered almonds
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground pepper
5 oz (about 5-6 packed cups) fresh arugula
1 cup red or black grapes, halved

To a frying pan add 3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the sliced garlic, chili flakes, thin strips of lemon peel and cook for just a few minutes until it’s fragrant and the garlic starts to just turn golden brown. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and cook it down a few minutes until about half of the wine is cooked off. Remove from the heat.

Add the ingredients from the pan to a blender along with dijon mustard, honey, slivered almonds, kosher salt and ground pepper. Blend until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if desired. Set the dressing aside.
Toss the arugula with the grapes and dressing and set aside.
