Tips: Baked potatoes and whole-grain bread go equally well with this dish. You can also serve a light vegetable salad for a well-balanced meal.

Red bream is ideal for barbecuing, but it shouldn't weigh more than 14 ounces. You can substitute the slightly more expensive yellow bream, also sold as dorado.
