Directions

Heat a grill to medium high.

Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and place each on a double rectangle of foil. Top with the arugula, half the lemon slices and the fennel. Sprinkle the outside of the fish with salt and pepper, drizzle lightly with olive oil and splash each with some wine. Enclose each fish in the foil, sealing to make a packet. Wrap each fish one more time with foil.

Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove the skin and fillet the fish from the bones. Serve on a platter with the remaining lemon slices. Garnish with the arugula and fennel. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top of the fish, just enough to taste.

    Whole Foods had fresh Branzino so I had to try this recipe and we truly enjoyed it. Great combination of flavors.

    Quite a tasty recipe. We really liked how the lemon infused everything. The fennel was especially good with the lemon.

    We didn't have Branzino so we used whole trout instead. I've never had Branzino so I can't compare the two fish, but we found the trout to be very good in this recipe.
