Print Pin Recipe

Ingredients
 

  • 2 whole dorada (sea bream), scaled and gutted
  • 1 lemon, cut into round slices
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp parsley leaves, minced
  • salt to taste
  • white pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup white wine, sauvignon blanc or similar
  • extra virgin olive oil, enough to coat the baking dish; extra for serving; higher quality will improve the taste

Equipment

  • 1 shallow glass baking dish 9 x 12 inch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an over to 220 C or 425 F.
  • Dorada Sea Bream with cuts down the side.
    Start by making 3 shallow cuts on each side of the fish.
  • Season the exterior and interior of the fish with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • In the shallow baking dish, pour in olive oil to cover the bottom with a thin layer, the white wine and add the garlic and lemon slices.
  • Dorada (sea bream) in a baking dish with lemon, wine, olive oil, and garlic.
    Please the fish on top of the lemon slices.
  • Once the oven reaches the temp, place the baking dish with the fish into the center rack of the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • After baking for 20 minutes, turn on the broiler and set the baking dish 6 inches from the flame. Broil for 5 minutes. If your oven does not have a broiler you can bake for another 5 minutes instead, a total of 25 minutes.
  • After broiling, check the fish for doneness. The meat of the fish should be a opaque white, which you can see in the slits of the fish. If it needs more time, just bake for another 5 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.
  • To serve, plate your side dishes and place a fish in the middle.
  • Add parsley to the sauce that remains in the baking dish and stir to combine. Pour a few spoonfuls of the sauce over the fish. Finish by drizzling olive oil over the dish and any vegetables served with the fish.
