Gilthead Sea Bream (Goldbrasse) Croatian Style

- Serves 2
In Croatia the bream prepared this way is usually grilled over a wood fire, but I have had excellent results at home in the oven. You can use any sweet, firm-fleshed whole fish as a substitute but bream tastes best!
Ingredients
- 2 larger or 3 smaller fresh or frozen/defrosted cleaned sea bream shopping list
- About 1/3 cup excellent olive oil shopping list
- 4 cloves chopped or crushed garlic shopping list
- Several grinds fresh sea salt shopping list
- 1/2 whole organic lemon shopping list
- Scant handful fresh chopped parsley shopping list
- Sprinkling of fresh-ground pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F.
- Wash fish and pat dry.
- Combine oil, garlic and salt, stir well.
- Make 3 deep slashes in each side of each fish.
- Lay fish in shallow baking pan and rub oil mixture inside and out, including the slashes, pouring any left over into the pan.
- Slice the lemon and place 1 slice inside each fish, scatter the rest about the pan.
- Scatter all with parsley, reserving 1 TBS, and pepper.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, watching carefully, until fish is just done-- do not overbake! Fish continues to cook in hot pan when taken out of the oven, so if in doubt, remove earlier rather than later.
- Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the top and serve immediately.
- I love this with buttered, parslied new potatoes and a green salad.
