Main Ingredients

Basil Pistou Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Seabream

  1. 1

    Clean and Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the whole seabream under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove any scales if necessary.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Drizzle the seabream with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then season inside and out with sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the fish.

Making the Basil Pistou

  1. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, pine nuts, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.

  2. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 6 tablespoons of olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and blend to combine.

Grilling the Fish

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Marinate the Fish

    Spread the basil pistou generously on both sides of the seabream. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature.

  3. 7

    Grill the Fish

    Place the seabream directly on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Fish

    Once cooked, remove the seabream from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the remaining lemon halves and extra basil pistou on the side.
