    Ingredients

    • 1 Sea Bream (or other white fish)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons pesto
    • 2 tablespoons white wine
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

    Method

    • Sea Bream with Pesto: Step-by-Step Method
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F) or prepare a non-stick skillet for stovetop cooking
    • Rinse the sea bream under cold water and pat dry with paper towels
    • Season sea bream all over with salt and pepper
    • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly over the fish, ensuring both sides are lightly coated
    • Place sea bream onto a baking dish or prep it for cooking in the skillet
    • In a small bowl, mix together pesto, white wine, and lemon juice until well combined
    • Spoon or brush the pesto mixture evenly over the top of the sea bream
    • Mince garlic finely if not already done
    • Dot the fish with butter and sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the top
    • Place the sea bream in the oven (or pan), baking (or cooking covered on stovetop over medium heat) for 15–20 minutes, or until just cooked through and flesh flakes easily
    • While the fish cooks, finely chop fresh parsley and cut lemon wedges for garnish
    • Remove the fish from heat and let rest for 2 minutes
    • Carefully transfer the sea bream to a serving plate
    • Spoon any pan juices over the fish for added flavor and moistness
    • Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving
    • Garnish with lemon wedges on the side
    • Serve immediately, ideally with a light seasonal salad or simple steamed vegetables
