This Baked Sea Bream is such a quick meal to get on the table, and will warm your heart and soul in a flash.
Happy Monday! I woke to a very cold start here with a heavy frost and had to dash round all the animals and thaw out water bottles and drinkers. Still no snow here, although I’m living in hope. The sledges have been dusted off, just in case :)
Anyway, here’s a crazy quick lunch to share with you. Baked Sea Bream. It’ll take you just 35 minutes from start to finish but will taste like you spent hours on it.
Ask your fishmonger to descale the bream and when you’re ready to cook, rinse under cold water, pat dry with kitchen towels and pop in the oven. Simples.

I adore sea bream, and love the idea of cooking it simply like this! Heavenly! And healthy too! Keeps threatening snow here too, but not even a flake yet! :(
Jane Sarchet says
It is a lovely fish, and so juicy when baked quickly Isabella. Good luck on the snow front :)

That looks like a very handsome fishy on a dishy! Not sure I’ve bought bream, I don’t remember seeing it for sale here which seems odd.
Jane Sarchet says
Hehe, he was rather handsome :)

I love simple and delicious dishes like that. As for the snow; it’s freezing right now but I’ve heard it’s gonna get warmer again instead of colder… Where on earth is that winter hiding!!??
Jane Sarchet says
I don’t know, but I wish it would hurry up. We’re drastically running out of snowtime!
