BAKED SEA BREAM with Cherry Tomatoes and Pesto

This morning I went to the Coop in San Ruffillo, Bologna, and seeing the fish section, I found some plump and beautiful sea breams on sale that I immediately decided to make the stars of our dinner!

The baked sea bream with cherry tomatoes and pesto was a very tasty main dish with very pleasant white meat and an appetizing side with a breadcrumb topping prepared with breadcrumbs and the addition of classic Genoese pesto… A simple, exquisite recipe … not to be missed!

PREPARATION STEPS FOR BAKED SEA BREAM WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND PESTO RECIPE

  • Scale the sea breams already gutted by the fishmonger, in this case from the Coop… and rinse them thoroughly under running water.

    Then pat them dry with kitchen paper.

  • Mix the extra virgin olive oil while stirring the stuffing.

    Line the baking sheet or your best tray with parchment paper.

  • Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

    For the breading in a bowl, mix the pesto with 3 heaping tablespoons of breadcrumbs, blending the mixture well.

  • Transfer the sea breams to the baking dish and arrange the halved piccadilly cherry tomatoes all around.

  • Carefully place a little stuffing on each cherry tomato that I did not empty of seeds today… forgive my laziness!

    Also sprinkle some black olives here and there.

  • Generously sprinkle the baked sea bream with cherry tomatoes and pesto with the chopped parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs.

    Season with salt and pepper and add a little extra virgin olive oil.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F and let this delicious fish main cook for about 35 minutes or according to your appliance’s characteristics.

  • Shortly before finishing cooking, I grated over the fish, the zest of the organic or untreated lemon, to give a citrusy aroma to the preparation.

  • Once cooked, serve the sea breams with the side dish and… enjoy this …delicious dish!!!!
