Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place each branzino on a cutting board. Cut off the top and side fins using scissors. Arrange 3 even piles of the lemon slices, 2 sprigs thyme and 2 sprigs rosemary in a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold all 3 fish (or use smaller cast-iron skillets large enough to hold one fish each). Lay a fish on top of each pile in a standing position so that the open cavity is resting on the lemons, and herbs. Set aside.
- Combine the salt, egg whites and dried thyme in a large bowl to form a grainy paste. Press a 1/4-inch layer of the salt mixture onto each fish until they are completely encased.
- Place the skillet or skillets in the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the fish, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Use a large spoon to break open the salt mixture-you will need to apply a little force-and peel the salt layer off.
- Serve the fish family-style, with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Serving suggestions: Steamed vegetables and plain mashed potatoes
- To make the vinaigrette sauce: In a small bowl, mix together salt and lemon juice, and then add the olive oil. When it comes time to serve, mix the aromatic herb mixture into the sauce, see Cook's note*.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Clean and dry the branzino. In a bowl, mix egg whites, flour, sea salt, and the aromatic herbs, creating a smooth mixture. Line the bottom of a baking pan with the parchment paper. Place the branzino onto the parchment paper. Cover the entire branzino (top and all sides but not the bottom) with the sea salt mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, and then remove from oven. While the fish is still in the baking pan, crack open the sea salt case, push it to the side, then fillet. Place the branzino fillets onto a plate. Serve with vinaigrette sauce on the side, steamed vegetables and plain mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat a wood burning oven or conventional oven to 450 degrees F. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Render the bacon bits in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon bits and reserve for serving later; reserve the rendered fat.
- Add the reserved rendered fat, heirloom tomatoes, garlic, some basil, vinegar and some olive oil to a medium saucepan and turn the heat to low. Allow the tomatoes to confit in the rendered fat until they are tender and have lost some of their juice, about 10 minutes.
- Rinse the branzinos under cold water and dry off with paper towels. Sprinkle the surface and cavities of the fish with salt and pepper. Slice the lemons into wheels and place in the cavities of the fish along with some fresh basil leaves. Place the fish on a sheet tray and bake until the fish is cooked through and the skin has crisped, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the grits: Add 375 grams water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the polenta and stir to combine. Add the mascarpone and salt and stir until the mascarpone is melted. Stir in the butter, banana and Parmesan until completely incorporated and melted into the polenta.
- Place the halved romaine on the grill, cut-side down, and sear until grilled, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the grilled baby romaine on a large platter. Top with the branzino, spoonfuls of the tomato vinaigrette and grits, then garnish with the bacon crumbles.
SAFFRON LEMON BRANZINO
Iranians love eating fish with rice to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian new year. It's an old tradition honored by Iranians living in other countries, too. A white fish is the classic choice; both branzino and Mediterranean sea bass (lavaraki) work well. The fish is flavored with saffron and lemon and stuffed with an onion, walnut, herb and pomegranate molasses filling. Sabzi polo (Persian herb rice) is the perfect accompaniment.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F with a rack in the middle position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
- Place the saffron and ice in a small bowl and set aside at room temperature until the ice melts. This will be your saffron water.
- Using a sharp knife, cut 5 or 6 slits, 1 inch apart, through the skin and flesh of each fish on one side. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute more.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, the parsley, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, turmeric, 1 tablespoon of the saffron water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set the onion filling aside.
- Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the remaining lemon juice and the remaining saffron water in a small bowl. Brush the insides of the fish with some of this saffron-lemon mixture, then stuff the cavities with the onion filling. Seal the cavities shut using 3 toothpicks along each open edge. Brush the top of the fish with some of the saffron and lemon mixture, then transfer the fish to the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Brush the top of the fish with some of the saffron mixture, then bake until cooked through and the flesh flakes easily, about 15 minutes more (see Cook's Note). Remove the sheet pan from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Brush the top of the fish with more of the saffron lemon mixture, then broil until the skin is golden and somewhat crispy, 3 to 5 minutes; keep a close eye to make sure the tops don't burn. Remove the toothpicks and serve with sabzi polo (see Cook's Note).

- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Using a sharp paring knife, score an “X” on the bottoms of the tomatoes and blanch them in the boiling water for 5 seconds; drain immediately and chill in the ice water. Drain again. Peel the tomatoes. In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes with the shallot, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large bowl, stir the egg whites with the 7 cups of kosher salt, the fennel and 3/4 cup of water until the mixture resembles moist sand. Spread a scant 1/2-inch-thick layer of the salt in an oval baking dish large enough to hold both fish. Pat the salt into a neat oval and place the fish belly to belly, on top. Pack the remaining salt on top of and around the fish. Poke a hole into the crust at the thickest part of the fish, behind the head. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the hole registers 135°. Transfer the dish to a warm place and let the fish rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, quarter the zucchini lengthwise and cut out the seed cores; discard the cores or save for soup. Cut each quarter into 2-inch pieces. In a small saucepan, combine the zucchini pieces with the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the 1/2 cup of basil leaves and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and pulse to a chunky puree.
- Run a serrated knife horizontally around the base of the salt mound and carefully remove the top crust. Transfer the fish to a work surface and fillet them, removing the skin. Transfer to plates. Spoon the zucchini pistou around the fish and garnish with the tomatoes. Drizzle some of the tomato marinade on top and garnish with basil leaves. Serve right away.

- 1. Preheat oven to 350oF. Trim off the tail end of the fish, if necessary, to the length of the gratin dish.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and egg whites and mix with your hands until the combination has the feel of wet sand. To ensure that you have added the right amount of egg whites, grab a handful of the mixture, squeeze it, then let it go. It should fall back into the large bowl without any of it sticking to your hand. If it sticks to your hand, incorporate more egg white.
- 3. Overlap, or “shingle,” the lemon slices, then add the lemon and the fennel into the fish’s cavity until the branzino assumes its natural shape. Pack the gratin dish or oval roaster with a 1/3-inch-thick layer of the salt-egg white mixture. Place fish on the bed of salt-egg white mixture, and cover it with more of the mixture, gently patting it down into an even 1⁄2-inch layer that envelopes the fish. Fill in any cracks in the salt crust. Transfer the gratin dish or oval roaster to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven when a thermometer inserted through the crust into the thickest part of the fish registers 125°F.
- 4. After removing the fish from the oven, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes but not longer. Use a serrated knife to slice around the circumference of the crust, carefully avoiding cutting into the fish. Lift the salt crust off. Transfer the fish onto a kitchen towel placed on the cutting board. Dust off any residual salt from the fish and cutting board. Transfer the fish onto two layers of paper towels on the cutting board to allow for ease of maneuvering the fish.
