Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet.
Toss the asparagus with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the sea bream fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
Season the skin side of the fish with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the fillets skin-side down in the hot pan and press down gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to prevent curling.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the flesh is opaque.
Plate the sea bream over the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley.
