How to prepare Pan-Seared Sea Bream Fillets

To prepare the pan-seared sea bream fillets, chop the parsley 1 making sure to set aside the stems, peel the lemon to obtain the zest 2, finally wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half 3.

Tips

Instead of garlic cloves, shallots can also be used. You can add a few drops of anchovy sauce when cold to enhance the flavor. If you seek a crunchy note, toast some bread in the pan along with desired herbs: garlic, oregano, rosemary, chili pepper, and crumble directly on the surface.
