Gilt-Head Sea Bream

Sea bream are a delicacy! The best way to cook these fish is to keep it simple. This easy, quick and healthy recipe is my absolute favourite way of serving this fish: A perfectly crispy fish fillet on Balsamic vinegar braised cherry tomatoes. Mediterranean cuisine at its best!

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Ask your friendly fishmonger to scale and fillet your fish (or follow the video on how to do it yourself).

2 x 200g Wild gilt-head sea bream fillets

Step 2

Sprinkle the skin side with salt to draw out moisture. Keep in the fridge for 20 minutes. Pat dry (bone dry!). Score the skin of the fish vertically.

Step 3

Sear the tomatoes in an oven dish with some olive oil over high heat for 2 minutes, add the garlic, deglaze with Balsamic vinegar and roast in the oven at 160C for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped basil and grate some fresh lemon zest over it.

400 g Cherry tomatoes

Olive oil

4 Garlic cloves

50 ml Balsamic vinegar

Basil leaves

1 Lemon

Step 4

Preheat a frying pan on high heat, place the fish fillet skin side down and don’t touch. The flesh will contract at first. Once it relaxes, press down gently (using a fish weight or a small pot) and continue searing over medium heat and do not flip. The heat will slowly cook the fillet all the way through. Serve on top of the tomatoes and enjoy.
