Rhea's Rundown
This flavorful and satisfying dish takes 20 minutes or less to throw together. Sea bass is the perfect melt in your mouth fish to soak up all the amazing flavors of the sauce involved. Fresh ginger and garlic, along with soy sauce, lemon juice and sesame oil comprise this simple yet deeply flavorful sauce. A side of spinach with nectarine or orange segments (I used mandarin orange slices) compliments the saltiness of the sauce, and provides a well-rounded satisfaction. You can substitute grouper, halibut, or cod for the sea bass and still get that nice mild flavor.

- 2 teaspoon canola oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
