RECIPE BACKSTORY
I love seafood and I’ve traveled the world eating it. This recipe was an attempt to copy a delicious Chilean Sea Bass I had while on vacation in Taiwan. Besides being able to recreate the taste, this dish is surprisingly easy to make, totally delicious, and as healthy as it is tasty.
