Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 whole Branzino sea bass fish, cleaned
  • 4 lemon wedges, divided
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 0.5 cup white wine
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
  • 0.25 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large baking pan; add red onion and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place 2 whole branzino fish into the baking pan. Stuff each cavity with 1 lemon wedge, 1 rosemary sprig, and some of the red onion in the pan. Pour white wine and lemon juice over fish and sprinkle with oregano. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over fish.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  5. Gently slide a spatula between the bones to separate fish; remove all the bones. Serve fish on a platter; garnish with parsley and 2 lemon wedges.
