Sea bream tartare
A beautiful piece of fish doesn't need much embellishment, which is why this simple preparation is enough for a delicious meal!
Ingredients
At Oliviers&Co
Freshly pressed olive oil & mint
Salt & herb mix for fish
Bay leaves
At the market
1.3 kg whole sea bream, gutted and scaled
1 large lemon
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Pepper
Steps
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Season the cavity and outside of the sea bream with the salt and herb mixture and pepper.
Cut the lemon into thick slices and stuff the sea bream with half a slice, 2 sprigs of thyme, and the bay leaves.
Place the fish in an ovenproof dish and arrange the remaining lemon slices and thyme on top.
Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
Roast the fish until cooked through, about 25 minutes, or until just firm to the touch. It should be opaque all over.
Cut along the backbone to remove the fillet. Carefully lift the top fillet and transfer it to a plate.
Cut the fillet into small pieces and drizzle with olive oil.
Let it cool before serving.
