Baked Sea Bream in Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the fresh herbs, pat them dry, and roughly break them apart. Slice the lemon into rounds.
  2. Place the sea bream on a cutting board and stuff the cavity of each fish with the rosemary, thyme, half a garlic clove, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Arrange additional lemon slices and herbs over the top of the fish.
  3. Transfer each fish to a baking sheet lined with two sheets of parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and fold and twist the parchment paper at the ends like a candy wrapper to seal tightly.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. The fish should be tender and moist, not dry.
  5. Remove from the oven and open the parcels. Serve the sea bream immediately, spooning over the flavorful pan juices infused with olive oil and aromatic herbs.
