Citrus Bream Fillets
These fragrant Citrus Bream Fillets have a deliciously moist and flavour flesh. Cooking them requires a very simple but nonetheless effective technique you may want to impress someone with, thus making this a perfectly suitable recipe for a date night! Happy Friday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
a lemon
a lime
2 beautiful fresh bream fillets
a good pinch of fleur de sel and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
a finger lime
In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat.
When the butter is just foaming, grate the zest of half the lemon and that of half the lime.
Add bream fillets, skin side down. When the butter just turns noisette (a light brown colour, and a slightly nutty scent), scoop it with a large tablespoon, and baste the fish fillets.
Continue basting the fish fillets in foaming citrus butter, until their flesh becomes opaque and is cooked through, about a quarter of an hour (more or less depending on their thickness.)
Season bream fillets, to taste, with fleur de sel and black pepper.
Halve finger lime.
Serve Citrus Bream Fillets hot, drizzled with citrus butter. Grate a little lemon and lime zest on top, and top with finger lime.
