About this recipe

The baked breaded sea bream fillets are a dish that reminds me so much of the summers spent in Sicily, where fresh fish was the order of the day. My grandmother, an exceptional cook, often prepared a similar version, fried in a pan, but this baked variant is definitely lighter and more digestible, without sacrificing taste and crispiness. I have adapted her traditional recipe to make it even simpler and quicker to prepare, especially with the help of the Thermomix®. The quality of the ingredients is essential for the success of this dish. The sea bream fillets must be very fresh, with firm flesh and a delicate sea scent. The flour serves to create a dry base for the breading, allowing the egg to adhere better. The egg, beaten with a pinch of salt and lemon juice, gives flavor and binds the ingredients. The breadcrumbs, preferably homemade with stale bread, give the typical crispiness of the breading. The lemon juice, in addition to flavoring, helps to neutralize the smell of the fish and make it more digestible. Finally, a drizzle of olive oil helps to brown the breading in the oven. To prepare the breadcrumbs with the Thermomix®, simply insert the stale bread cut into pieces into the bowl and chop for a few seconds at speed 7-8. You can also add a little fresh chopped parsley for an extra touch of flavor. If you want a more flavorful breading, you can also add chopped aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary or oregano to the breadcrumbs. For a gluten-free version, you can use rice flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs. For a vegetarian variant, you can replace the sea bream fillets with slices of grilled eggplant or zucchini. The baked breaded sea bream fillets go perfectly with a side of mixed salad, baked potatoes or grilled vegetables. They can also be served with a yogurt and herb sauce or with homemade mayonnaise. Another delicious idea is to use them to fill sandwiches or wraps. If there are any leftovers, the baked breaded sea bream fillets can be stored in the refrigerator for one day, in an airtight container. To reheat them, it is advisable to pass them in the oven again for a few minutes, so as to make them crispy again. They can also be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator, raw and breaded, ready to be cooked when needed.
