Branzini With Potatoes
- 4 whole branzini (Mediterranean sea bass), each about 1 pound
- 8 five-ounce potatoes
- 4 teaspoons each chopped fresh parsley, chives, marjoram and garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse the fish inside and out and pat dry.
- Line a baking dish large enough to hold all the fish at once with parchment paper.
- Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible (use a mandolin, if available).
- Place the slices in a large bowl with the herbs and garlic.
- Toss to coat slices well with oil and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange half the potato slices, overlapping, over parchment in 4 portions the length and width of the fish.
- Place a fish over each portion and completely cover the fish with the remaining potato slices, overlapped evenly.
- Bake until the potatoes are tender and the fish is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
