Sea Bream Fillets with Baby Potatoes & Fresh Herbs

Ingredients:

  • 4 fresh Levantina sea bream fillets
  • 500g baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (optional)
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • A splash of dry white wine
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt & pepper
  • A little olive oil
  • A small amount of flour, for coating

Method:

  1. In a pot of salted water, boil the baby potatoes for about 25 minutes. Drain, cut them in half, and return to the pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 tbsp of butter, salt, pepper, and dill (if using). Sauté for about 5 minutes.
  3. Gently score the skin side of the sea bream fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly dust the fillets with flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add 1 tbsp of butter, flip the fillets, and cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Remove the fillets from the pan. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine. Once it evaporates, add the spring onion and sauté for 1 minute.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice, 1 tbsp of butter, and chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.
  8. Serve immediately, pairing the fillets with the sautéed potatoes and spooning the herb sauce over the top.
