View ProfileMarinated and grilled Branzino is topped with a charred scallion pesto butter and finished in oven. Charring scallions softens them up and brings out their natural sweetness, which adds depth to the rich, allium-forward compound butter. Chef Chris loves creamy French lentils cooked with garlic, thyme and mirepoix, and finds they pairs exceptionally well with a delicate protein like Branzino. This is a high protein meal that's still on the lighter side while promising elegance and balanced, satisfying flavors.
