Notes

  • Get the frozen fillets, as they are flash frozen as soon as caught. You can control how long they have been sitting out after defrosted, as many seafood departments are selling 'previously frozen' fish.
  • Be sure to pat the skins dry to the glaze will stick.
  • If you want the skin on the Branzino to be even crispier, turn the overhead broiler on medium the last 5 minutes of the baking period.
