Ingredients:
- 4 sea bream fillets
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Rinse the sea bream fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the sea bream fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. You can use a brush or your hands to spread the mixture evenly.
5. Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs over the fillets, adding an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Once cooked, remove the sea bream fillets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to settle and the fish to firm up slightly.
8. Serve the oven-baked sea bream fillets on a plate, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
Now, sit back and enjoy the succulent and flavorful oven-baked sea bream fillets! This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or couscous. Bon appétit!
