1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cumin
pinch of crushed saffron threads
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp caster sugar
750g / 1.5 lb sea bream, cleaned and gutted
3 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
chopped coriander, to garnish
To Serve:
coriander sprigs
tomato slices |
Method :
Mix together the almonds, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, saffron, cayenne pepper, garlic and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cut 3 slashes in both sides of the sea bream and place in a non-metallic dish. Rub the spice mixture over the fish, working it well into the slashes. Pour over the lemon juice and olive oil. Cover and leave in a cool place for 1 hour.
Put the fish and any marinade in a shallow earthenware ovenproof dish, cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven, 180C (350F), Gas Mark 4, for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the flesh flakes when tested with a fork.
Serve on a bed of coriander sprigs and tomato slices, garnished with chopped coriander.
