Bake the Fish

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Rinse the sea bream under cold water and pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the inside and outside of each fish generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  3. 3

    Slice the lemon into thin rounds. Place a few lemon slices inside the cavity of each fish and arrange a couple more on top.

  4. 4

    Lay the prepared sea bream on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    Timer25 min

Steam the Broccoli

  1. 5

    While the fish is baking, bring a pot of water to a boil for the broccoli.

  2. 6

    Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over the boiling water and steam for approximately 10 minutes, until tender-crisp.

    Timer10 min
  3. 7

    Remove the broccoli from the steamer and season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Make the Lemon-Garlic Sauce

  1. 8

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. 9

    Add the minced garlic to the melting butter and sauté gently for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

    Timer1 min
  3. 10

    Stir in the beef bouillon cube (or paste/homemade bouillon). Let it dissolve completely, then simmer the sauce gently until it slightly thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning; if your bouillon is salty, you might not need extra salt.

  4. 11

    Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the canned coconut milk and the juice of 1/2 lemon.

  5. 12

    Finish the sauce with a generous grind of freshly ground black pepper.

Serving Suggestion

  1. 13

    Carefully transfer the baked sea bream and steamed broccoli to serving plates. Drizzle the warm lemon-garlic sauce generously over the fish and broccoli, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
