Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole sea bream, cleaned and scaled
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces lemons, sliced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 100 milliliters dry white wine (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the sea bream under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish, ensuring they are deep but not all the way through.
Season the inside of each fish with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Stuff the cavity of each fish with 2 sprigs of rosemary, 2 sprigs of thyme, a tablespoon of chopped parsley, and a couple of lemon slices.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the fish, ensuring the cuts on the skin are well coated.
Arrange the fish on the prepared baking tray. Scatter any remaining lemon slices around the fish, and drizzle a splash of white wine (if using) over the top.
Roast the sea bream in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the skin is lightly golden. The flesh should be opaque and flaky when tested with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed greens, or a fresh salad.
