Detailed Steps for Cooking Crispy Sea Bream Fillet with Japanese Salad
Start by preparing the salad. I used edamame that was boiled in salted water and then quickly frozen, so just soak it in hot water for 3 minutes.
Rinse and dry the salad greens, shell the edamame, and the salad ingredients are basically ready.
Clean the sea bream fillet, pat dry the surface with kitchen paper. Prepare the skin as shown in the picture, evenly sprinkle with salt and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, place the fillet in the pan with the skin side down, and gently press the fish with your hand to make the skin even and heat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
Watch for the color change on the side of the fillet. When the cooked fish meat is light in color and covers 2/3 of the side, flip the fillet and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. Be careful not to cook the fillet for too long, as the fish meat will become too dry.
Arrange the salad greens and edamame on a plate, drizzle with Japanese sesame sauce.
Place the fillet on top and enjoy while hot.
