Serves Four:

4 fresh sea bream
2 octopus fillets
8 dried tomatoes
10 olives without stones
2 garlic cloves
2 shallots
50g flour
100g Serrano ham, marinaded with chili and black pepper
Green salad (rocket, lettuce)
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar
1 pinch salt, 1 pinch pepper
Juice of 1 lime

Scale the sea bream and make cuts in both sides. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice, then coat the fish in flour to ensure it does not stick, and to give it a crunchy coating. Fry in olive oil. Season the octopus fillets and fry in olive oil.

Slice the marinaded Serrano ham into strips and fry briefly in olive oil together with the chopped garlic cloves, olives and dried tomatoes.

Arrange the green salad on a dish. Place the fish on it, and spread the Serrano ham mixture over this. Finally, season to taste with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Bon Appetit!
