Recipe Of The Day: Branzino

Lemon-stuffed and grilled.
Open Image Modal

Branzino is the fish we want to be eating during the summer months. A European sea bass, it's light and flaky in texture but is perfectly rich in flavor -- especially when cooked on the bone. And it's something really special when it's grilled, like with this lemon-stuffed branzino recipe.

If you've never grilled fish before, you might want to read up on a few of our seafood grill tips. Because while grilling fish is not difficult in any way, it's a whole different experience than cooking burgers.
