Ingredients

• 4 Whole branzino
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup Black olives
• 2 Lemon
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh oregano
• 4 cloves Garlic

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425°F; score each fish three times per side and stuff the cavities with lemon slices and oregano.
2. Toss the tomatoes, olives, and garlic with olive oil in a roasting pan; nestle the fish on top.
3. Roast 18 to 20 minutes until the flesh flakes at the thickest point and the tomatoes burst.
4. Rest 5 minutes so the juices settle back into the fish.
5. Fillet at the table or serve whole with lemon wedges; the cheek meat is the cook’s reward.
6. Spoon the roasted tomatoes and their juices over each portion.
7. Mediterranean simplicity: great fish, fierce heat, and nothing to hide behind.
