    • Step-by-Step Method: Baked Sea Bream with Tomatoes and Olives
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
    • Rinse the whole sea bream under cold water and pat dry with paper towels
    • Score the skin of the sea bream 2-3 times on each side with a sharp knife
    • Rub both sides of the fish and inside the cavity with olive oil

    • Arrange the sea bream on top of the tomatoes
    • Scatter the sliced olives, capers, and remaining minced garlic around the fish
    • Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top
    • Place a few lemon wedges inside the fish cavity, and the rest around the fish
    • Bake on the middle rack for 20–25 minutes (until flesh is opaque and flakes easily)
    • Remove from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes
    • Carefully transfer fish to a serving platter
    • Spoon tomatoes, olives, and pan juices over and around the fish
    • Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for aroma and colour
