#  Sea Bream In A Herb Crust  


Herbs are almost never excluded in Italy – whether included from the start or used to finish a dish, there will be a leaf on the plate. Here, they're used in abundance to transform a simple fish supper into a delicious midweek meal.

Serves

Total Time

 20 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    60g of soft white bread  

   1 garlic clove  

   5 large sage leaves  

   1 small handful of mint leaves  

   1 small handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves  

   1 small handful of basil leaves  

   30g of Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated  

   4 sea bream fillets  

   Salt  

   5 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F/ Gas 6) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.



 Step 2 

Put the bread, garlic and herbs (torn from their stalks) into a food processor and blitz to a fine sandy texture. Pour into a bowl and mix in the cheese with a fork.



 Step 3 

Lay the fish fillets skinside down on the lined baking tray. Sprinkle a little salt over the top of each fillet. Carefully pour the herby breadcrumbs over in a mound and finish with a drizzle of oil.



 Step 4 

Cook in the oven for around 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and feels firm to the touch.



 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Tip: Serve with mashed potato, Nonna’s Potatoes or the Roman Herb Salad from the book.
