The Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Garlic is truly a dish that can be made even by those less experienced in the kitchen. This is because, once your trusted fishmonger has scaled and cleaned it, all that remains is to prepare the seasoning and put it in the oven. The recipe I propose is definitely classic and well-tested, but if you wish, you can also tailor it 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 flesh is very tender and its flavor is really delicate. Generally lean, but rich in high biological value proteins, 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 them both, and slice the potato finely with a mandolin. Place the slices in a bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes, and pour two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over them.
Season with salt, mix well, and set aside.
Place the cleaned sea bream inside a baking dish lined with parchment paper. To ensure the paper adheres well, wet it and squeeze it. Sprinkle the inside of the fish with salt, insert the halved lemon slice, and the two sprigs of parsley.
Drizzle a tablespoon of oil over the sea bream and a pinch of salt. Finally, distribute the seasoned potato and cherry tomato mixture around. If you like, you can add a grind of fresh pepper.
Before baking, place two whole garlic cloves wherever you prefer. Now, cook in a preheated oven at 350°F, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes. Please do not exceed this time to avoid drying out the fish.
Serve your Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Garlic immediately, portioned and surrounded by crispy potato slices and wilted cherry tomatoes.
Tips 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 further drying. If you don’t have one, you can always use the fish flesh and cherry tomatoes to dress pasta.
