Scale and clean the sea bream. Peel the potatoes and cut into slices about 5 mm thick. Blanch in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain well. Finely chop the garlic and parsley and mix with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Preheat the oven to 220°C (top and bottom heat). Grease a baking dish with the remaining oil. Layer half of the potatoes in the dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with some of the garlic and parsley oil. Grate half of the pecorino over the top. Salt the sea bream, place it on the potatoes, and cover with the remaining potatoes. Spread the remaining oil mixture over the potatoes and grate more pecorino over them. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
