500 g of pumpkin
80 g soft gorgonzola
500 g small chard
garlic a clove

1 egg white
milk as needed
extra virgin olive oil

Slice the sea bream; engrave them from the stomach to eliminate the interior. Eliminate the head; fillet them starting from the belly and make sure to leave the 2 fillets attached in the highest part, trying to keep the tail attached to the fillets. With the scissors cut off the plug.

Peel the pumpkin, remove the inner seeds. Cut a part of the pulp into thin slices 1-2 mm to make the chips.

Grease them and spread them in a pan. Let them dry in the oven at 80 g until they are crispy.

With the rest of the pumpkin make a cream. You can find the recipe here.

Heat the milk to 50/60 ºC and melt the gorgonzola. Blend and control the density. If it is too thick, add a little more milk.

Clean the chards eliminating the coast. Wash them well and blanch them for a few minutes in boiling salted water. Cool in water and ice and sauté with a clove of garlic and oil.

Slightly beat the egg white, brush the skin of the sea bream and cover with pumpkin seeds. Cover a plate with baking paper, grease it and lay the giltheads; salt.

Cook the sea bream in the oven at 200ºC for about 7 minutes.
