How to make Baked Gilthead Bream with Potatoes
Let’s start preparing the baked gilthead bream with potatoes: prepare the bream fillets and then rinse them under running water. Preheat the conventional oven to 356°F and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, preferably all to the same thickness; you can help yourself with a mandoline. Wash the sage and rosemary and chop them finely.
Place the bream fillets skin-side down on the tray, cover them with the potato slices and sprinkle with the chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Put the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes; before taking it out, check the doneness of the potatoes and the bream because cooking times can vary depending on the oven.
When the baked gilthead bream with potatoes is cooked, remove it from the oven and serve it piping hot, adding a drizzle of oil and, if necessary, a little extra salt.
