Sea Bass

It has been awhile since I have had a chance to take photos of our meals. I was watching the sweet little MEM, while their parents were skiing for a few days. Now, I had hoped to write about our meals as they were definitely fun. You have got to love watching and hearing about a 2, 4, 6 year olds dinners. My favorite has got to be the tacos with 3 (yes, 3 not two or one, but 3) dots of ketchup. Unfortunately, I am not at talented as Jaden over at the Steamy Kitchen – kudos to her, she cooks fabulous meals and serves them to her family as well she manages to get  some great shots!! Anyhow, I could not get it together with kids at the table, lighting and a camera as well as enjoy their funny stories at that time.  I really wanted to though.  Definitely, next time, it would be a fun addition.

Laudalino and I started the night at an Italian wine tasting in our neighborhood. Was a great way to end the week and start the weekend together – relaxing and some time away from home to catch up. As well we tried some really outstanding Organic Italian wines. Once home we decided to cook a Chilean Sea Bass and some asparagus.

I like to steam the sea bass with different seasonings.  My favorite way to steam fish, is to wrap it in some foil, season it and pop it into the oven (425) for about 15 – 20 minutes. Super easy and literally no mess. Tonight, I chopped up some chili peppers and shredded some of the Kaffir Lime Leaves that we received from the White on Rice Couple, sprinkled it all on the fish, added a pat of butter and drizzled with some white Bordeaux. I also wrapped some aspargus up with sea salt and olive oil and roasted it along side the fish. To serve it, I zested Meyer Lemons over the entire plate. The fish was ultra moist and creamy. The flavor was a little spicy with a bite of citrus. The essence was fantastic, the Kaffir Lime Leaves add such a wonderful scent and flavor. A very light and easy dinner.
