Baked sea bream with lemon, tropea and olives

Cooking a tasty, healthy dish in line with dietary suggestions is possible if you use typical Italian products.

In the recipe book with italian typical products today a very simple and very fast but delicious way to prepare the sea bream: we have combined with a fish of our sea some products of our South, such as Sorrento lemons, Tropea onions and Nocellara Etnea olives.

We took a fresh sea bream of medium size and asked the fishmonger to empty its entrails and scam it. If he is not too busy or if you leave it for five to ten minutes to do the job, normally the fishmonger will indulge you willingly.

At home you will eventually complete the work by removing only the remaining scales and fins. I often cut the final part of the tail, and rinse the fish very well.
