Branzino on the egg stuffed with lemon, thyme, bay leaf (herbs fresh from garden), olive oil, s/p. 400 degrees, 8 minutes a side. Excellent.

Sounds tasty!
Did you use fresh bay leaf? If yes, what else do you cook with it? I've never tasted it before.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I love branzino - great looking cook. If any of you find yourself in Memphis, go to a restaurant called Bari, and order the grilled whole branzino. It’s awesome!!Memphis, TN

Actually, your suggestion of planting a bay leaf plant made me investigate out of curiosity regarding bay leaf plants and that's what I found. I didn't know that it's one of the few herbs that are likely better bought dried rather than fresh. Now I do.eggnewtoy said:

That looks great but I am unfamiliar with this type of fish.

Interesting article. I had posted a thread several years ago, saying I didn't even know what "bay" tasted like. I had crushed a leaf in water, another in oil, and another in alcohol, to cover volatiles that dissolve in one but not the others. I couldn't taste anything in any of them, and quit using bay.
I completely forgot about heat!

Ha! I thought is was a species difference. Give it a go and let us know. I'm sure you can find a use even if you have to modify dosing or application. My knowledge is limited to that article and I wasn't that focused when I read it.eggnewtoy said:

I am dehydrating my herb garden to see if fresh dried herbs are better than what I buy at Pensky’s. Will post. Starting with basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano.
