Preparation

How to prepare Sea bream in the microwave

To prepare the sea bream in the microwave, start by cleaning the sea bream. Use scissors to cut off the fins, then descale under running water, using the back of the knife or a special tool. Make a cut on the belly of the fish up to the head. Remove the entrails and rinse well under water to eliminate all impurities. Fill the cavity with thyme, rosemary 1, garlic 2, and lemon 3.

Season with salt 4 and pepper 5. Now focus on the new potatoes. Wash them well and, without peeling, cut each into 4 wedges 6.

Transfer them to a bowl and season with salt 7, thyme, and rosemary 8. Add a drizzle of oil 9.

Mix 10. Pour a drizzle of oil into a baking dish 11, place the sea bream on top, and add the potatoes 12.

Drizzle with oil 13, salt, and pepper 14 and cook in the microwave at 650 W for 20 minutes, then continue cooking in grill mode for another 6 minutes. The sea bream in the microwave is ready to be served 15.

Storage

It is recommended to consume the sea bream as soon as it is baked. If there are leftovers, store them with the potatoes in the refrigerator, in a closed container or covered, for up to one day.

Freezing is not recommended.
