Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Garlic is truly a dish that can be made even by the less experienced in the kitchen. This is because, once your trusted fishmonger has scaled and cleaned it, all you have to do is prepare the seasoning and put it in the oven. The recipe I propose is certainly classic and definitely tried and tested, but if you wish, you can also customize it according to your needs. Don’t like potatoes? You can easily replace them with zucchini, and so on. In short, enrich it as you see fit. Sea bream is one of my favorite fish because its meat is very tender and its flavor is truly delicate. Generally low in fat, but rich in high biological value proteins and a source of micronutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, and especially B vitamins.

How to Prepare Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Garlic
Peel the potato, wash it under running water along with the cherry tomatoes, dry both, and slice thinly with a mandoline. Gradually place the slices in a bowl, add the cherry tomatoes cut in half, and pour two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over them.
Adjust the salt, mix well, and set aside.
Place the cleaned sea bream in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. To make the paper adhere well, wet it and squeeze it out. Sprinkle the fish’s belly with salt, place the halved lemon slice and the two parsley sprigs inside.
Drizzle a tablespoon of oil over the sea bream and a pinch of salt. Finally, spread the seasoned potato and cherry tomato mixture all around. If you like, you can add freshly ground pepper.
Before baking, insert two whole cloves of garlic wherever you like. At this point, bake in a preheated oven at 356°F, and cook for about 20/25 minutes. Please, do not exceed these minutes, or the fish may dry out.
Serve your Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Garlic immediately, portioned and surrounded by crispy slices of potatoes and wilted cherry tomatoes.
Advice and Storage
You can store the sea bream for one day in the refrigerator, but in an airtight container.
I recommend reheating it only in the microwave, to avoid it drying out further. If you don’t have one, you can always use the fish flesh and cherry tomatoes to season pasta.
