Roasted Branzino Recipe (Greek-Style Whole Fish)
This roasted branzino recipe is one of the most classic and delicious ways to prepare whole fish in Greek cuisine. Roasted simply with olive oil, lemon, onion, and herbs, then finished with a bright ladolemono dressing, it highlights the fish itself rather than masking it. The result is tender, flaky meat, lightly charred skin, and clean Mediterranean flavor that feels elegant but is surprisingly easy to achieve at home. If you’ve ever ordered whole branzino at a Greek restaurant and wondered how they get it so moist, flavorful, and never fishy, this recipe shows you exactly how.
