How to Cook Sea Bream
Another reason sea bream recipes are so popular is because they are easy to cook in various different ways, giving the final outcome a variety of flavour and textures. Sea bream can be pan-fried, baked, grilled, steamed or poached, but the following are the most popular methods of cooking sea bream:
Pan Fried Sea Bream
To pan fry sea bream, cook over medium heat, flipping once, until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through, typically about 4-5 minutes per side. Our Senior Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, recommends frying skin side down first, to crisp the skin to perfection.
Grilled Sea Bream
Grill sea bream fillets, seasoned with salt, pepper and seasonings of your choice, over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque, then serve immediately.
Baked Sea Bream
To bake sea bream in the oven, place your seasoned fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 200°C for 12-15 minutes until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
As with all seafood recipes, we recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your fish to ensure that it is cooked thoroughly and ready to enjoy.
