baked sea bream with lemons
Ingredients - Serves 4 Method

1 sea bream weighing not less than 1kg
1 kg small marrows with their flowers still attached
2 lemons, sliced
A few rosemary sprigs
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat the oven to 200C and arrange a piece of foil large enough to cover the whole fish over the dish.

Rinse the fish under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen paper. Insert a few lemon slices, some rosemary sprigs and seasoning in the gut. Close and place in the prepared dish and arrange the remaining lemon slices over the top.

Drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and close tightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile wash the marrows trying as much as possible not to remove the flowers. Steam for a few minutes until tender.

Remove the fish from the foil and arrange on a large serving plate. Garnish the fish with the steamed marrows, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a grinding of pepper.
