- Tip: If you have fillets instead of the whole fish, make the cuts the same way and fill them with salt.
- Place the sea bream in a mold or container and squeeze the lemons to bathe the entire piece with the juice. Make sure that the juice runs well through the crevices and all the rest of the fish. Reserve about 10-15 minutes for the meat to take flavor.
- After this time, heat a non-stick frying pan or a griddle over moderate heat and place the sea bream, as seen in the photo. Cook the fish for about 5-7 minutes until the side that is on the fire is well marked.
- Flip the fish very carefully so it doesn’t break, cover the pan and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes or until the grilled bream is well done.
- Tip: If instead of the whole piece they are making grilled sea bream fillets, the cooking time will be less.
- Serve the grilled sea bream and enjoy a dish full of flavor, light and fresh. You can accompany this fish dish with a Pico de Gallo and toast or a traditional Caesar salad, exquisite!
