Roasted Sea Bream

Prep Time 1 hour
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 2lb. each whole Sea Bream scaled & gutted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Several springs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
  • ½ cup fresh parsley minced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Score each side of the fish two or three times, from top to bottom, right down to the bone.
  • Mix together all the other ingredients and marinate the fish in it, refrigerate, for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 ℉.
  • Roast the fish, undisturbed, in a lightly greased baking dish until diamond, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size.
  • Check for doneness (since you've scored the fish, you will be able to see clear to the bone and can easily tell if the fish is cooked through); cook an additional few minutes if necessary.
  • Serve with the pan juices.
