Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the sea bream: Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Make 3-4 slits on each side of the fish. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper inside and out. Stuff the cavity with lemon slices, garlic cloves, and herbs.
- Arrange the fish on the baking sheet: Place the sea bream in the center and surround it with the prepared vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The fish should be flaky, and the skin should have a light golden crispness.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges and herbs for a bright, fresh touch.
Tips for Perfect Baked Sea Bream
- Use Fresh Fish: For the best flavor, make sure the fish is fresh. Look for clear eyes, shiny skin, and a mild smell.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoning, as it enhances the flavor of both the fish and the vegetables.
- Try Different Vegetables: Feel free to customize the vegetable mix. Potatoes, carrots, or eggplant make excellent additions.
