Ingredients
- 4 Sea Bream Fillets
- 30 g Coarse Breadcrumbs ⅓- ¼ Cup
- 15 g Parsley ½ Cup
- 1 Lemon
- 30 g Butter 2 Tbsp
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Chop the parsley as finely as you can.
- Zest the lemon and cut it in half.
- Heat half of the butter in a 24cm or 10" frying pan over a medium heat, and when it begins to foam, add the breadcrumbs. Cook until golden brown; this will take 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir through the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Then transfer the mix to a kitchen cloth to crisp up.
- Heat the olive oil in a 30cm or 12" nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Make shallow cuts through the skin if the bream is about 1½cm (just over ½") apart, then season the fillets with salt.
- Place the fish skin-side down in the pan and LEAVE IT ALONE for 2½-3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, flip over the fish and cook for a further 60 seconds.
- Squeeze in the juice from half of the lemon and cook for a final 30 seconds.
- Serve with the golden crumb sprinkled over the fish.
