Crispy Oven-Baked Common Bream (Cejn velký)
From a fresh common bream we cut two fillets and leave the rib bones in. We season the fish with salt, spread it with homemade chilli paste and cover it generously with caraway. The fillets are then baked slowly in the oven until beautifully crisp. Serve them on their own or with fresh bread or a baguette.

Method
01.
First gut the bream, remove the scales and carefully cut two fillets, leaving the rib bones in. Trim off the fins and clean the fish thoroughly once more. Season the fillets with salt, spread them with chilli paste and sprinkle generously with caraway.
02.
Preheat the oven. Line a baking tray with baking paper brushed with oil and place both fillets on it – one skin-side up and one skin-side down. Put the tray in the oven and bake slowly until the fillets are beautifully crisp. Serve them on their own or with fresh bread or a baguette.
