I love to cook. If you follow my Instagram you can see that. Cooking is how I decompress, especially when I am trying out a new recipe. So the spirit, guided me to waltz into Whole Foods because I wanted to make some Sea Bass for dinner. I have a love/hate relationship with Whole Foods (or Ho foods, there’s always a hot guy there, ALWAYS). I think that their meat and fish is so fresh, but I also feel like the grocery bill is equivalent of a pair of shoes (I rather starve). I copped the Sea Bass and a couple of other things and was outta there.
Since Sea Bass is a fish that you don’t want to over season. You want to keep it light so that the natural flavor and texture shines through, I decided to roast mine. I found a great recipe on Epicurious.com and made a side of zucchini and yellow bell pepper (for color) sauteed in salt/ pepper and Ghee, and also had a side of whipped sweet potatoes. Here are some pics and the recipe below. Remember white plates make your food look prettier (and yes I plate all my food like I’m at a restaurant…ALWAYS).
