Here is my interpretation of a delicious fish served to me in Montenegro on one of my business trips. I took the basic idea back to my lab and after several tries I came up with this version which is the “Holy God” version of how to make anyone love this fish. The dish I had they served French beans on the side but I put them in the fish and I think it looks great and it’s just a more fun way to eat it. Here is how I put it together…

Ingredients

Fresh Branzino cleaned and butterflied
2 pieces of good bacon
12 small cleaned shrimp
2 Tablespoon good whole grain mustard
1 Cup of panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil spray
Juice of one fresh lemon
Handful French beans ends trimmed

Directions

Roasted Branzino with bacon shrimp and french beans (Custom)

Start by places one strip of bacon on each side of the fish.
Now mix together the mustard and the mayo and paint the inside of the fish covering the bacon as well.
Place about 12 small cleaned shrimp on the fish scattering evenly and finish with a layer of panko bread crumbs.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and spray a light coating of vegatable oil on the bread crumbs before putting in the oven. Now roast until the fish is golden brown about 15-20 min and you can see the fat has rendered out of the bacon.

Now slid onto a plate and serve with the French beans in the middle and a little more lemon juice. Voila! Fish that even a non-fish eater will love.

Beans:
Handful French beans ends trimmed.
Steam until tender then sauté with a little butter and lemon juice and season to taste.
Add some lemon zest and serve in the fish when ready.
