Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Stir gently and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat dry 4 sea bream fillets and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Place fillets skin-side down in the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  4. Step 4: Remove fillets from the pan and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Spoon the olive and tomato salsa generously over each fillet before serving immediately.
