These fish are usually flat with mildly flaky, juicy white flesh. The flavor of seabream is pretty neutral, making it a good canvas for additional components, though you'll want to avoid overdoing the mildly sweet flavor.

Sea bream is popular on menus all throughout the world, whether grilled whole, baked, steamed, or fried. Gordon Ramsay uses a salt coating to ensure taste and keep the delicate fish from drying out while baking. Follow his instructions and load the entire fish with lemon slices before placing it on a bed of salt and covering it with additional salt. After removing the baked sea bream from its crispy salt shell, serve it with braised leeks and hazelnuts or your choice of side for a spectacular display worthy of a fine dining establishment.
