Grilled branzino with skin is a Mediterranean-inspired dish that highlights the mild, delicate flavor of this European sea bass. Typically seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary, the fish is grilled to perfection, achieving a crispy skin and juicy, flaky flesh. Known for being nutrient-dense, branzino is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12 and selenium, which support heart health and the immune system. The grilling process minimizes the need for added fats, making it a wholesome option. However, the skin can retain trace amounts of environmental contaminants from the fish’s habitat, so sourcing sustainably-raised or wild-caught branzino is recommended. With its balance of nutrition and rich flavor, grilled branzino is a healthy centerpiece for many Mediterranean-style meals.
