Fried Sea Bream with Mozzarella and Tomatoes

A magnificent dish! Sea bream has a wonderful taste on its own, and in a duo with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes, it becomes even more exquisite. You can replace the mozzarella with another cheese, however, this will completely change the flavor. Rice would be a suitable side dish. This recipe is for 2 servings.
