2 whole Gilt Head Bream also known as 'Dorada' in Spanish - ensure it is gutted and scaled
3 cloves Garlic
2 red Chillies
250 g Cherry Tomatoes we used heritage but any good cherry tomato is good
1 bunch Flat Leaf Parsley roughly chopped
2 tbsp Olive Oil don't use extra virgin, it isn't worth it!
400 ml Water

Put the sauté pan on a medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the Gilt Head Bream (dorada) and begin to brown on the first side
Whilst the fish browns on the first side, chop the 3 cloves of garlic and add to the pan
After about 2 minutes the fish will have browned, turn it over to brown on the other side
Whilst the fish begins to brown on its second side, chop the chillies. Don't worry about deseeding the chillies, just chop and chuck in the pan!
Half the cherry tomatoes and throw them in the pan too. Add the water and the parsley and put the lid on
Put a timer on for 15 minutes, sit down and enjoy a glass of wine.
After 15 minutes, your work is done! Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
