Breadcrumbs (to taste)
Zest of 1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
Thyme and parsley (to taste)
For the Potatoes:

Cherry tomatoes (to taste)
Extra virgin olive oil (to taste)

👩🍳 Instructions:
Prepare the Potatoes:
1️⃣ Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. To prevent discoloration, soak the slices in cold water. Rinse them under running water and dry with a cloth.
2️⃣ Transfer the potato slices to a large bowl and add halved cherry tomatoes and olives. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
3️⃣ Place the potato mixture on a baking tray, arranging the slices so they overlap as little as possible, with the tomato seeds facing up.
Cook the Potatoes:
4️⃣ Place a pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven to create humidity, and preheat the oven to 180°C (fan mode).
5️⃣ Bake the potatoes on the lowest shelf for 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the potato slices. Thin slices may cook faster.
Prepare the Sea Bream Fillets:
6️⃣ Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the lemon zest.
7️⃣ Rub the sea bream fillets with a little olive oil. If the fillets are already scaled and deboned, leave the skin on.
8️⃣ Sprinkle the top of the fillets with a little of the breadcrumb and lemon zest mixture. Gently distribute the breadcrumbs with your hands.
9️⃣ Drizzle the fillets with a little more olive oil to finish.
Bake the Sea Bream Fillets:
🔟 After the potatoes have cooked for 18-20 minutes, place the fillets in the oven on the same shelf at 180°C. Bake for 10 minutes, or adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the fillets.
Assemble and Serve:
1️⃣ Once the sea bream fillets are cooked, they should be juicy on the inside with a golden, crispy crust. Serve the fillets on a plate with the roasted potatoes and enjoy!
