Bright, Balanced, and Bold: Whole Grilled Lemon Branzino with Organic Lemon Herb Seafood Blend
There’s something about grilling a whole fish that feels both rustic and refined, and with the right seasoning, it becomes the centerpiece of a fresh, summery meal. This Whole Grilled Lemon Branzino is seasoned simply but flavorfully with our Organic Lemon Herb Seafood Blend, a clean, citrusy mix of lemon, basil, dill, parsley, and salt. The result is a light yet deeply aromatic dish that delivers on taste without overwhelming the delicate branzino.
The Recipe: Whole Grilled Lemon Branzino
Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
- 1 whole branzino, cleaned and scaled
- 2 tablespoons Harris Spice Organic Lemon Herb Seafood Blend
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), optional for stuffing
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prep the fish: Pat branzino dry with paper towels. Score the skin with shallow cuts on both sides to help the seasoning penetrate.
- Season: Rub each fish with olive oil, then season generously with the Organic Lemon Herb Seafood Blend, inside the cavity and over the skin. Add extra salt and pepper if desired.
- Stuff: Place a few lemon slices and optional fresh herbs inside the cavity for extra fragrance.
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the fish for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the meat flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Plate whole with additional grilled lemon slices and a simple green salad.
