Bream in the oven

Cooking bream in the oven with various additives (vegetables, sour cream or mayonnaise and even lemon) is one of the simplest and fastest ways. When heat treated in the oven, the fish retains the maximum amount of vitamins, micro- and macroelements, which are very useful for people + unlike frying, a minimum of vegetable oil is used or not used at all, which significantly affects the calorie content of the finished dish. Bream is a fairly bony fish, so it is recommended to choose large carcasses, from which it is easier to remove the bones.

Bream baked in foil in the oven
