Ingredients:

• 4 sea bream fillets

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 lemon, sliced for garnish

For the Villain Sauce:

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 red chili pepper, finely chopped (adjust according to spice preference)

• 1/2 cup white wine

• 1 cup fish or seafood stock

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

• Salt and pepper to taste
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Silver Coast Grill: Preheat your Silver Coast Grill. Aim for medium-high heat on the plancha side and medium heat on the grill grate side.

2. Prepare the Sea Bream: Pat the sea bream fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. Make the Villain Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan on the grill grate. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and red chili pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Stir in the white wine* and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

5. Add the fish or seafood stock and tomato paste to the saucepan, stirring well to combine. Simmer the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Grill the Sea Bream: Place the sea bream fillets directly onto the preheated plancha side of your Silver Coast Grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Serve: Transfer the baked sea bream fillets to a serving platter. Spoon the Villain Sauce generously over the top of each fillet. Garnish with lemon slices and additional chopped parsley if desired.

9. Enjoy: Serve the Skinny Baked Sea Bream with Villain Sauce hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

*This can be any white wine, but preferably the one advised with the dish. Don't be shy and pour yourself a glass too!

This recipe offers a delightful combination of flavors with the sea bream baked to perfection on the plancha side of your Silver Coast Grill and the flavorful Villain Sauce prepared on the grill grate.

For the weekend: Today we are going wild, there are plenty of options for this dish to combine a fantastic Portuguese wine or something that is in gernal more vaialble in your local wine sotre:

Wine Pairing:

• A crisp and refreshing Portuguese Vinho Verde would be an excellent choice to pair with the sea bream and the vibrant flavors of the Villain Sauce. Look for a Vinho Verde with bright acidity and notes of citrus and green apple.

• Alvarinho: Another fantastic Portuguese white wine option is Alvarinho, known for its aromatic qualities and flavors of stone fruits and tropical notes. It offers a nice balance to the seafood and the savory sauce.

• Sauvignon Blanc: If you prefer a non-Portuguese option, a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand or France would also complement the dish well. Look for a Sauvignon Blanc with crisp acidity and flavors of citrus, green herbs, and tropical fruits.
  

Beer Pairing:

• Witbier: A Belgian-style Witbier with its citrusy and spicy notes would pair wonderfully with the seafood and the flavorful sauce. The light and effervescent character of Witbier cleanses the palate between bites.

• Saison: A Saison, particularly one with fruity and peppery notes, would also be a great choice. Its dry and slightly spicy character complements the richness of the dish while refreshing the palate.

• Pale Ale: For beer enthusiasts, a well-balanced Pale Ale with floral and citrus hop notes would provide a nice contrast to the savory flavors of the sea bream and the Villain Sauce.

Enjoy the culinary experience amidst the beautiful setting of the Silver Coast of Portugal!
