Lemon Stuffed Grilled Branzino

This grilled branzino is stuffed with lemon and herbs and cooked until the skin is browned and crispy to add even more flavor.

Ingredients:

4 (1-pound) whole branzino, scaled and gutted, heads and tails removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 thyme sprigs
4 bay leaves
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 cut into wedges
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
parsley, finely chopped, for serving

Direction

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the fish cavities with salt and pepper. Stuff each cavity with a thyme sprig, a bay leaf, and 2 lemon slices. Rub the outside of the branzino with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the branzino over high heat, turning once, until browned and crisp and just cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Serve right away, passing salt, lemon wedges, and parsley at the table.

Lamb Shawarma

This is a wonderful Middle Eastern dish that I was introduced to by a friend of mine from Lebanon. This recipe yields an absolutely amazing tasting and tender final product. Shawarma can be used in pitas, be put on fattoush, on hommus, or eaten plain.

Quick Almond Flour Pancakes

These filling almond flour pancakes are a wonderful substitute for regular pancakes when watching your carbs or wanting a gluten-free alternative. Any sweetener can be substituted for maple syrup. Enjoy!

Roasted Eggplant Moussaka with Lamb

Roasting eggplant until it's creamy and custardy makes it the perfect base for layering with a rich, meaty sauce in this take on moussaka, which is topped with a rich layer of ricotta and mozzarella cheese in place of béchamel sauce. Don't worry if the eggplant slices look dry when flipped; they will continue to release moisture during the remainder of the roasting time. Elizabeth-Rose Mandalou, Beverage Director at WM Restaurants in Sacramento, California, picked a perfect wine pairing for this cozy dish: "Go for a Cabernet Sauvignon and Agiorgitiko blend for this dish; the plum and cherry notes and warm spices in the wine balance the richness of the eggplant and lamb."
