It's Monday and I'm trying to detox... We went to Toronto for my mom's birthday this weekend which involved a lot of feasting, "Just Dance" competitions followed by late night binging on pizza, salt n vinegar chips and Asiago cheese dip. It's always so much fun to be with family but it's never fun to feel that your jeans have 'miraculously' grown snug.
I wanted to eat light...well as light as I'm able to- I never cut on extra virgin olive oil and butter when needed. So I made a whole sea bass stuffed with aromatic herbs and lemon that I smeared with a dollop of garlic herb butter just before serving. I made a green bean and potato salad as a side and it was delicious!
I will write the green bean recipe on the following post...
Ingredients:
1 whole sea bass (they vary in weight. mine was 1.28 lb)
1 sprig rosemary
a bunch of parsley
2 stems oregano
1 lemon, sliced
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 garlic smashed
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Have your fish monger scale and gut the fish. Wash it and pat dry. Slit the fish on a diagonal deep enough so it just hits the bone. You want to do it 2-3 times per side depending on how big the fish it. Rub with one teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Butter Method:
In a mortar and pestle pound garlic to a paste. Add herbs (oregano, parsley) and pound. Add room temp butter, a pinch of salt and mix together.
Buon Appetito
