Seared Branzino

This is a simple and elegant dish adapted from the Food & Wine recipe https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/roasted-branzino-caper-butter It is so easy and simple for a weeknight! 1. Preheat oven to 425 2. Prepare the fish - pat the fish dry. Season the cavity and outside liberally with salt and pepper. Place any herbs you may have (rosemary spring, thyme) in the cavity with minced or sliced garlic and 1-2 slices of lemon. 3. In a cast iron, add oil. Sear each side of the fish for 2-3 minutes. Don't flip too early or you will lose your sear! Add butter and capers, any remaining herbs and baste the fish as it is searing. 4. Place the fish on a *rimmed* baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes (note: original recipe calls for 10 minutes but that tends to overcook the fish).
