People always ask me if I cook dinner for myself when I’m eating alone. The answer is yes. I make dinner for myself the same way I would if I was cooking for two. My favorite thing to make for a dinner alone is roasted branzino. It’s fast, easy and delicious. Branzino is a lovely white fish from the Mediterranean. When it’s roasted whole, it’s always cooked perfectly. I ask the fish monger to clean the branzino so that when I get home, I just need to season it. I salt and pepper the inside and outside of the branzino, drizzle some olive oil and squeeze 1/2 lemon juice. I stuff the inside with thyme and rosemary. I roast the branzino for 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven. I make a simple salad as the side. The whole thing takes less than 30 minutes. Roasted branzino is the perfect meal to make for dinner whether you’re alone or with guests.
