Aromatic Sea Bream

This really is a perfect dinner-party dish. Minimum effort, but with maximum taste from a mix of simple ingredients and all with absolutely no skill needed (unless you are particularly keen in de-scaling and gutting your own fish), and the best part? Well it's perfectly gluten (using gluten free bread) and lactose free!

As for the fish, I usually pick mine up from the market but most British supermarkets have fairly decent fish counters so dont be afraid to use them. Also Sea Bream can be quite expensive in the U.K so feel free to try this dish with another type of meaty, white fish and let us know what works well.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

•  4 Sea Bream (ask for them de-scaled and gutted)
•  4 medium potatoes, chopped into chunks with skins on (roughly 1 inch squared)
•  1 red + 1 green pepper chopped into chunks
•  1 red onion chopped into large chunks

• 2 cloves of garlic
• a teaspoon of fresh chopped parsley
• a tablespoon of fresh rosemary needles
• a small sprig of thyme
• 2 thick slices of white bread torn into breadcrumbs by hand (roughly 40 grams)
• Juice of 1 lemon and the zest of half
• Olive oil
• Salt and Pepper

1. Pre heat the oven to 180 ºC
2. Lightly oil the bottom of a large baking tray, add the potatoes and toss in the oil and add a good pinch of salt. (I like to use rock salt but any will do). Place in the oven for 20 mins.
3. While the potatoes are in the oven, chop the peppers, onion and any other vegetables you want to roast. 
4. Next, chop ONE of the garlic cloves along with the parsley, rosemary and thyme into a fine mix along with a pinch of salt. Fill the cavities of the Sea Bass with this mix.
5. Add the vegetables to the roasting tray and drizzle a little more oil over if needed, then pop it back in the oven for 10 mins.
6. Bash the remaining garlic clove and add 6 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice and zest and mix well with 1 tablespoon of water. 
7. Remove the baking tray from the oven and make space in the centre of the tray for the Sea Bream. Add the Sea Bream and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the fish then using a spoon slosh on the oil,garlic and lemon juice mix over the breadcrumbs.
8. Pop the tray back into the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the breadcrumbs are golden.
