Ingredients
2 1 1/2 – 2 lb whole Branzino butterflied
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs, preferably sourdough
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F. Whisk olive oil, mustard, garlic, and thyme in a small bowl. Using your fingertips or a rubber spatula, mix in breadcrumbs, squeezing or pressing to saturate bread, until evenly coated; season with salt and pepper.
- Open up fish and place, skin side down, in a large ovenproof pan or on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Top with breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Roast until breadcrumbs are golden brown and fish is cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
