3. Put gloves on to protect tour precious fingers from smelling like the ocean, if you wish.
4. Lay both Branzino flat on the parchment paper lined pan, and cut 3 small slits on the upside of each fish.
5. Prepare your shallots - peel their outer skins off and slice each shallot thinly.
6. Prepare your meyer lemons - cut two of them into thin slices. Cut your third lemon into quarters.
7. Prepare your herbs - rinse the parsley and thyme well. Roughly chop about 2 tbsp. of parsley. Separate a small bunch of thyme into individual sprigs and set aside.
8. Rub olive oil all over the inside and outside of your Branzino, then season with S&P inside and out.
9. Take your lemon quarters and squeeze two quarters of juice on the ins and outs of your fish.

11. Bake for 10 minutes.
12. Turn off your oven, keeping the Branzino inside, turn your broiler onto high. Continue cooking 3-5 minutes or until nice and crispy.
13. Remove from oven, top off with chopped parsley and enjoy with someone you love. Pair it with rice, salad, or both!
