  1. To prepare the baked sea bream with potatoes, peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about half a centimeter thick, transfer them to a bowl and season them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano.
  2. Mix the potato slices with your hands, then arrange them neatly on a baking tray and bake at 200°C for 25 minutes.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking in the oven, clean the sea bream, cutting off the lateral and ventral fins with scissors. Under water, remove the scales with the back of a knife, finally belly the sea bream.
  4. Open the belly of the sea bream and remove the intestines, then season the inside of the belly with salt, pepper and a sprig of dried oregano, then make a few cuts on the sides of the fish.
  5. Finally, arrange the seasoned sea bream on top of the potatoes, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, add more salt, and bake, this time at 220°C (425°F) for 20 minutes. Once the baked sea bream with potatoes is cooked, transfer it and the potatoes to a serving platter.

This recipe can be customized to your tastes. You can add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage for a more intense flavor, or you can grate a little lemon zest over the sea bream for a refreshing touch.

Sea bream is a protein-rich, low-fat fish, making it an excellent choice for those following a healthy diet. Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates and fiber. Furthermore, this dish is baked in the oven, meaning there's no need for a lot of added fat.
