Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 Branzino, Whole
- 1 Lemon
- 1 White Onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 Bell peppers (yellow, red, green), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp. Chef Merito® Lemon Pepper
- 5 oz. Chef Merito® Fish Fry
- 1 cup of Cooking Oil
Preparation
- Thoroughly clean the fish and pat dry.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil.
- While the oil heats up, with a sharp knife, make slashes on a diagonal along the body of the fish every 2 inches on both sides, cutting all the way down to the bone for faster and even cooking.
- On a flat plate or tray, generously cover the Branzino with the Chef Merito® Fish Fry.
- Carefully place the fish in the frying pan, lowering the heat to medium-low. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Plate the fish and drain the oil from the pan, but do not wipe away the oil from the pan.
- Place the pan on medium-high heat and add the onion, bell peppers, and Chef Merito® Lemon Pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve the sautéed vegetables by placing them on top of the fish. Garnish with lemon slices and rosemary.
