Ingredients
- 2 Branzino fillets, unthawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- garlic sea salt blend, to taste

Instructions
- Pat fish dry. Season the fleshy side of the fish with garlic sea salt, parsley flakes and fresh ground pepper.

- Cook until the skin is crispy and golden in color and the fish is flaky and opaque in color. Turn the fish and cook for about a minute with the lemon under the fish to carmelize it. Cook time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the fillet.
