Name: Whole Charred Branzino with Cilantro-Garlic Oil, Charred Limes & Crushed Potatoes
Prep time: 12 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 37 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 whole branzino (12–14 oz each), gutted, scaled, patted dry; ¾ cup fresh cilantro leaves (packed); ½ cup fresh parsley leaves; 4 cloves garlic; ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice; Sea salt & cracked pepper; 2 medium waxy potatoes (like Yukon Gold), sliced into ¼-inch rounds; 2 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes); 2 limes, halved; 1 tbsp unsalted butter; Fleur de sel for finishing; Fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish

A whole branzino roasts in screaming heat until its skin shatters and its flesh stays butter-tender. A verdant cilantro-garlic oil (made with fresh herbs and toasted garlic) pools around the fish. Charred lime halves and crispy potato rounds round out the plate—simple, confident, completely satisfying.
