Step-by-step directions

1- Prepare (clean) your sea bream, scale it then gut it by rinsing it slightly with water, trim the barbels and the dorsal spine.

2- Preheat your oven to 180°(th6).

3- Salt and pepper the inside of your fish, fill with a little thyme, bay leaf and various herbs, then on the sea bream make 5 incisions where you will place your slices of combava or lime.

4- In your baking dish put a little coarse salt, place your sea bream on it, the potatoes cut in half around it, salt, the garlic cloves or crushed garlic cloves then the butter and olive oil scattered over the potatoes and the fish, cook in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes then turn off the oven and let rest for 15 minutes, serve with lemon-flavored melted butter, simply delicious.
