Poached Seabass in Olive Oil with Garlicky Breadcrumbs

Directions

1. In a large, glass roasting dish, place the 6 seabass fillets in one layer. Season on both sides. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and zest, two of the minced garlic cloves, the white wine, and ½ cup of the olive oil. Pour over the fish and let it marinate in the fridge overnight.

2. Remove the fish from the fridge an hour before cooking, to bring it to room temperature.

3. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

4. Roast the fish for 30 minutes, or until cooked inside.

5. While the fish is cooking, in a medium non-stick frying pan add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining minced garlic clove. Turn up the heat to medium and let the garlic simmer gently for one minute, taking care not to burn.

6. Add the bread chunks, toss with the garlicky oil and keep flipping until golden brown and crisp. Set aside on a paper towel.

7. To serve, sprinkle crispy breadcrumb topping and a handful of chopped parsley over the roasted fish.
