I had a delicious supper that I highly recommend.

Don't know that it's a recipe, exactly, but here's what I did:

I got a delicious-looking piece of sea bass at the store (I hate fish - but sea bass I will eat up like you wouldn't believe - it is light and buttery, nom!) and a lemon. I put down three slices of lemon on a piece of parchment paper, put the sea bass on top of it, and put two more slices on top. Then I wrapped it up, cooked it in the oven at 400° for 22 minutes, and ate it right out of the parchment paper with the tiniest bit of salt on top.

NOM NOM NOM.

That sounds SO good!

It was so tasty! Highly recommend (also easy - I am not the world's most accomplished cook).

Mmmm yeah. I love sea bass too. Will try your method, and branch out! But if you want to try, typical Chinese "recipe/method" is to put sliced ginger inside the fish, and lay a couple of slices on top. Douse with soy sauce (and/or rice wine) and steam. 8mins usually.

There are variations, and some produce incredible fishies, but that's nice and simple and also worth it :D

Oh my god that sounds AMAZING. That is on my list for next weekend. :D :D :D

Sorry to butt in uninvited - but I tried this for dinner after reading this. It was SO GOOD!
Thank you for the idea! <3

I've never been able to eat fish, except tuna fish (go figure). It just squicks me right out, but I keep wanting to like fish. You've made a compelling case. I might have to try it!

Yeah, I hate fish too but I went to lunch with some friends once - a Thai restaurant maybe? Some cuisine I didn't know very well at the time, anyway, and one guy ordered sea bass. It was a whole fish, steamed, and there really wasn't anything else on it, and it was so amazing. I tried some to be polite, but it was so amazing that I started ordering it for myself from then on out. To this day I will order sea bass if it's on the menu. It's really the only fish I eat regularly (though I try salmon now and again as the gf likes it - it's tolerable now, but still nowhere near as tasty as sea bass).
