Michelle made pan-fried sea bass in garlic & lemon butter sauce.
Johnny prepared pan roasted salmon with lemon & coriander mayonnaise.
this sounds so delicious! i really love the idea of the white fish with the egg. i’m thinking this could be great with some bacala (dried cod). Really nice!
Very light and fresh sounding. I have never tried Coley fish before, but have actually been wanting to cook a white fish lately… a change from typical salmon.
Looks nice. I’ll have to try it with tilapia.
