Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the sea bream dry with paper towels. Score the fish 3 times on each side with a sharp knife.
Step 3
Slice the lemon into thin rounds. Cut 2 of the garlic cloves into thin slices; mince the remaining clove.
Step 4
Rub the fish all over with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season inside and out with the coarse salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Stuff the cavity with the lemon slices, sliced garlic, and 2 thyme sprigs. Place the remaining thyme on top of the fish.
Step 6
Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 7
Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the skin is golden and crisp.
Step 8
Sprinkle with the minced garlic and chopped parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
