A whole sea bream certainly looks impressive on the table. Best served warm next to our cooling watermelon salad. Grab a fork and dive in.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4.
- Make 4 diagonal cuts along the fillet of the fish, then lay onto a baking tray. Gently press the rosemary sprigs into the cuts, season with salt and black pepper then drizzle with a little of the olive oil.
- Place in the oven to roast for 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, tip the rest of the oil into a large bowl. Add the honey, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and black pepper then whisk to combine.
- Add the watermelon, red onion, parsley and mint leaves and toss to coat in the dressing. Add the feta and toss once more, very gently.
- Serve alongside the roasted sea bream
