Prep: 10 mins
Cooking: 40 mins
Serves: 2

Ingredients
• 2 x Caught & Delivered Whole Sea Bream, defrosted
• 400g new or small potatoes, cut into wedges or slices
• Large handful of small black olives, roughly chopped
• 3 garlic cloves (2 chopped and 1 sliced)
• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• Large bunch of flat-leaf parsley, leaves roughly chopped and stalks reserved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Zest of half a lemon, save the top and tail of the lemon and cut two large slices
• 1/2 tsp of chilli flakes
• Small glass white wine

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220℃ fan. Begin by par boiling the potatoes for about 10 mins, drain and set aside.

2. Next, toss the potatoes with the olives, chopped garlic, half the chopped parsley, the red onion wedges, half the olive oil, the lemon zest, and some salt and pepper in a medium sized oven-proof dish (one big enough to fit both of the whole Sea Bream later). Pop the dish into the hot oven while you prepare the Sea Bream.

3. Score both sides of each fish 3 times. Season inside and out, then place the parsley stalks, lemon slices and sliced garlic into the cavity of each fish. After 10 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and lay the fish on top - drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and return to the oven.
 4. Bake for 20 mins, then remove and sprinkle over the lemon zest, the chilli flakes, and pour over the wine. Return to the oven for 10 mins more until the potatoes have browned and the fish is cooked.

5. Remove the dish from the oven, scatter over the rest of the parsley and bring the dish to the table.

Don’t forget the lovely white wine juices in the bottom of the dish when you serve up. This recipe is delicious with a simple bowl of greens - check out our seasonal greens recipe that accompanies our Made for You Florentine Fishcakes.
