Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean the whole sea bream and pat it dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.

  3. 3

    Season the Fish

    Rub the fish inside and out with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stuff the cavity of the fish with slices of one lemon, garlic cloves, and a mix of thyme and rosemary.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon over the top of the fish.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fish

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
