Sea bass with mint leaves

4 servings

50 minutes

Sea bass with mint leaves is a refined dish of Mediterranean cuisine that combines the freshness of seafood and the aroma of herbs. The tender, slightly sweet flesh of the sea bass is baked with cherry tomatoes for a hint of acidity, capers for zest, and fresh mint for spicy notes. Baking in parchment preserves the fish's juiciness while allowing the ingredients to absorb its flavor. This dish not only delights the taste buds but also mentally transports you to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, where simplicity and quality ingredients play a key role. Perfect for a light dinner, served with white wine and fresh bread.
