Ingredients: 2 whole branzino (10–12 oz each), cleaned and scaled; 3 tablespoons harissa paste; 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; ¼ cup green olives, pitted and halved; 1 preserved lemon, quartered and seeds removed; 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 1 small onion, thinly sliced; 6–8 fresh cilantro or parsley sprigs; Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; Pinch smoked paprika

A whole branzino, wrapped in parchment with a generous harissa paste, steams into tender, flaky perfection while the spice deepens and melds. The papillote opens to release a cloud of fragrant steam—inside, green olives and preserved lemon have infused every bite.
