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:
- 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.
- Add 1 tbsp of butter, salt, pepper, and dill (if using). Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Gently score the skin side of the sea bream fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dust the fillets with flour, shaking off any excess.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the lemon juice, 1 tbsp of butter, and chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Serve immediately, pairing the fillets with the sautéed potatoes and spooning the herb sauce over the top.
