Baked Sea Bream

Yield2
Prep Time45 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 whole sea bream, cleaned
  • 2 peeled sliced potatoes
  • 1 sliced lemon
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 pinch fresh parsely
  • 100 grams butter
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1⁄4 cup olive oil
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 sliced zucchini (optional, see notes)

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large, deep pan until hot and fry the zucchini, onions and potatoes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large baking dish that will also hold the fish. 

Make two transversal cuts in each side of the Sea Bream to let the heat in. Place fish on top of potatoes and onions in the baking dish.

Season the fish with salt, minced garlic, and parsely. Place slices of lemon inside the fish and drizzle with remaining lemon juice. Drizzle potatoes with white wine and spread the butter in small bits on the fish.

Heat the oven to maximum heat. Place fish in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the wine starts to boil and the skin begins to separate.

Notes

I also added sliced zucchini to the potatoes and onions for a one-dish meal.
