Move over salmon: Branzino is the new fish to serve.
When we were preparing our Shavuos content, the only thing missing from the list was a new fish option. Leah doesn’t eat fish, so Victoria tested a few ideas but wasn’t fully satisfied with any of them.
Meanwhile, I had a photoshoot for The Fishing Line here in Lakewood. They sent over lots of prepared fish options that they offer for Shavuos and this one just struck me as the answer to our search.
Light, colorful and summery, this grilled branzino makes a great addition to your Shavuos menu or a nice summer dinner.
I reached out to the chef at The Fishing Line and he graciously shared the recipe with all of you. So if you order your fish from them, make sure to say thanks!
