Method

  1. 1

    Score the sea bream a few times on each side and season well.

  2. 2

    Grill the fish under a hot grill, or on a griddle, for 6-8 minutes on each side until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily.

  3. 3

    Crush the garlic cloves and mix with the juice of the limes and the olive oil to make the mojo sauce.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then drain.

  5. 5

    Serve the fish drizzled with the mojo, with the rice alongside.
