Branzini With Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) with a rack in the center of oven.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a high-sided skillet over medium. Add leek and carrot; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add chicken broth, beans, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tomatoes burst and carrots are tender, about 25 minutes.
• While beans simmer, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Rub fish with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle evenly with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place half of the lemon slices in fish cavities. Place remaining slices on the prepared baking sheet. Roll 2 large pieces of aluminum foil into logs and twist to prop up fish cavity-side down.
• Roast fish in the preheated oven until flesh is opaque and skin is crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Stir butter into bean mixture. Serve in shallow bowls with the roasted branzino and lemons. Sprinkle with more thyme leaves, and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Oil a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Rinse fish well, pat dry with paper towels, and place on baking sheet. In the cavity of each fish, place 2 lemon slices, 1 sprig dill, 1/2 of the fennel, 2 sprigs parsley, and 1/2 of the reserved fennel fronds. Season the cavity and exterior of each fish with salt and pepper. Lay 3 slices lemon over the top of each fish. Drizzle oil lightly over fish and roast until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer fish to serving plates and serve with lemon wedges.
