For something a little different for your next dinner party, why not try sea bream as a main dish option? It’s a great white fish to try and feels really different when served up. We’ve served it up with white wine, lemon and parsley for a really simple but tasty dish that you’ll just love.
Sea bream is rich in iron and vitamins, so it’s a great choice to include in your diet. Baking it in the oven really brings out the flavour and it doesn’t take too much effort to prepare either – so it’s a great no fuss dish to try this week.
What’s more, this recipe serves up to eight people, so it’s a great one to try if you’re feeding a crowd this week.
Ingredients
- 8 sea bream, around 450g (1lb) each, scaled and gutted
- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 100ml (4fl oz) white wine
- 4tbsp olive oil
- You will need
- 2 large baking trays
Method
Preheat the oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. Lay out the whole fish on the baking sheets, side by side. Divide the parsley and lemon slices among them, stuffing them into the cavity. Pour over the white wine and olive oil and add plenty of seasoning. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Check that the fish is cooked through by inserting a small sharp knife into the thickest bit of the fish and looking to see that the flesh has turned nicely white. Serve at once with the juices poured over.
