Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs, preferably sourdough
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
freshly ground pepper
2 1 1/2-2 pound whole branzino or trout, butterflied
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

I'm allergic to mustard, so I substituted it with a lemon-herb crust. The fish turned out great and everyone loved it!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mustard-crusted branzino turned out really fishy. I think I might have used old fish.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The fish was cooked well, but the mustard crust was a bit too salty for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster! The fish was overcooked and the mustard sauce was bland.

The mustard-crusted branzino was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different sauce.

Mustard-crusted branzino was a delightful dish that exceeded my expectations. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a crispy crust and tender, flaky flesh. The mustard sauce added a tangy, savory flavor that complemented the fish beautifully.
