Grilled Branzino Fish with Lime and Herbs
- 2 Whole Branzino, Gutted (about 1 Pound Each)
- Salt And Pepper
- 4 whole Limes, 2 Sliced And 2 Juiced
- 1/2 cups Chopped Fresh Basil
- 1/2 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- Olive Oil, Enough To Rub On Grill Grates And Fish
- Scrub your grill grates to clean them then generously oil them with olive oil.
- Heat to medium-high heat.
- Generously rub the branzino with olive oil and liberally season with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
- Place the branzino on a tray, and fill the inside with the herbs and lime slices.
- Fold the second side over on top of the herbs, so the fish are stuffed and back to their regular fish shape (see photographs on related blog post).
- Gently lay the fish on the hot, well-oiled grill and cook without turning for about 5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the the flesh on the grill-side of the fish is flaky and opaque.
- Use a spatula to loosen the fish from the grill; there may be a spot or two that sticks.
- Flip the fish and continue grilling for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove fish to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle more olive oil and juice from 2 limes over the fish.
- Serve.
