Foil Baked Sea Bream Recipes

GREEK OVEN BAKED SEA BREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230°C/446°F.
• Prepare the fish. Remove its scales with a fork. Open the belly and remove the fish innards. Rinse well
• On your working surface lay a large piece of aluminum foil. On top add a large piece of parchment paper. Put the fish on top.
• With a sharp knife make a lengthwise incision at the center of the fish's belly. (on both sides)
• Season well with kosher salt. Add some in the belly and at both the incisions you just made.
• In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Pour half of it over the fish.
• Cut one garlic clove into very thin slices and sprinkle over the fish.
• Season using half the amount of oregano and some ground pepper.
• Fold the parchment paper at each end. Start by folding envelope-like and than secure tightly. Wrap the aluminum foil well around the fish, making sure there aren't any holes for the steam to escape.
• Repeat process for the next fish . Add the fishes in a baking pan.
• Add about 2 fingers of water in the pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• NOTE: At half an hour check to see if there is still any water left in the pan. If not add a bit more so the fish won't stick to the bottom.
