Method
- 1
Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.

Heat the grill to high. Score the sea bream three times on each side through to the bone and rub all over with the vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt.
- 3
Grill for 8-10 minutes each side until the skin is blistered and the flesh at the thickest part flakes easily from the bone and is opaque all the way through.
- 4
Cut the lemon into wedges.
- 5
Dust the fish with the shichimi togarashi and serve whole with the rice, soy sauce and lemon wedges.
