“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain,” renowned author Mark Twain famously said. However, we would just slightly alter that to specifically cater for seabass, because when you cook it at home, you cook with your heart and relish it with love.
This simple and extremely delicious delicate fish dish needs very little cooking technique.
The dish is rich in vitamins and minerals ranging from Vitamin C, K & D to Omega-3 and iron that all play a role in fighting inflammation in the body, boosting the immunity system, controlling cholesterol levels, improving digestion and much more.
