Ingredients

  • 1 sea bream (about 14 oz)
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs parsley
  • 1 pinch salt

What You Need to Cook Sea Bream in a Jar

  • 1 Microwave Oven
  • 1 Jar wide and low liter jar with thin seal
  • Scissors

Procedure

  • With the help of scissors, cut the belly of the sea bream and remove the innards. Rinse it under running water and trim part of the tail to shorten it.
    Wash the cherry tomatoes and parsley. Peel and cut the garlic clove into 3 pieces.

  • Distribute the ingredients in the jar, placing the whole sea bream in the jar. Season with a pinch of salt, olive oil, and white wine.
    Clean the edges of the jar, close, and fasten with the 4 clips. Shake it to mix.

  • Place the jar in the microwave, set it to your tested power, I use 600 watts, and start cooking for 10 minutes.
    After cooking, let the jar rest closed for at least 20 minutes. During rest, a vacuum will form, and the sea bream will finish cooking at a low temperature.

    When the jar reaches room temperature, you can store it in the refrigerator.
