Sea Bass à la Michele

(138)

This oven-roasted sea bass recipe uses an easy and crowd-pleasing technique (and by crowd, I mean my wife). Whenever I can't decide on what to do with a piece of fish, I usually opt for this method, which involves roasting seafood after it's been slathered in a highly seasoned vinaigrette. It's baked on top of a warm potato salad.
