The spicy sea bream fillets are a simple, light, quick, and tasty main course. To prepare it, I used frozen and cleaned fish fillets, although a quick check with tweezers to ensure there are no bones is always advisable, and then simply oil, pink peppercorns, juniper, salt, and pepper. A few minutes in the oven wrapped in parchment paper, and the spicy sea bream fillets are ready. Super easy!

Steps
Rinse the sea bream fillets under running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on the work surface or a cutting board and check for any bones, removing them with tweezers if necessary. Season with a pinch of salt on both sides, then transfer to parchment paper with the skin side down. Add the pepper, oil, juniper berries, and pink peppercorns, then fold the parchment paper to form a pouch leaving a small opening in the center for steam to escape. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 356°F (180°C) for 18-20 minutes. Serve the spicy sea bream fillets hot.
Curiosity
Pink pepper is a spice obtained from the fruit of a tree found in Latin America, the Shinus molle, which is different from the plant that gives us black pepper (Piper Nigrum). Pink pepper is also known as “false pepper.” It has a more delicate and fruity taste, with a characteristic peppery flavor less intense than classic black pepper.
