(WSVN) - Let’s face it. With all the cakes, cookies and holiday treats this time of year, it’s hard for anyone to stay on a healthy diet — but a South Florida chef gives it a try with a Mediterranean dish. Time to grab a Bite with Belkys.

The Chef: Francesco Giuzio
The Restaurant: Sylvano, Miami
The Dish: Branzino Mediterraneo

Ingredients:
1 (7-8 oz) branzino filet
1 tsp capers
8 black olives, whole
10 grape tomatoes, whole
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 oz fresh Italian flat parsley (for garnish)
½ cup white wine
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper

Method of Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 350*F. Season the branzino filet with salt, pepper & fresh thyme.
  • In a sauce pan on medium heat, add olive oil. When hot, add the branzino with the flesh side down (skin side up).
