Sea bass with cilantro

4 servings

25 minutes

Sea bass with cilantro is an exquisite dish of Mexican cuisine that harmoniously combines the tenderness of fish, the spiciness of fresh cilantro, and the rich creamy taste of sour cream. This recipe reflects the traditions of Mexico's coastal regions where seafood plays a central role in cooking. The fish is carefully wrapped with cilantro, giving it a special freshness and aroma. Gentle stewing with onions and sour cream makes the bass meat incredibly tender, while grated cheese adds a pleasant creamy texture. The dish is perfect for family dinners or festive tables, especially when accompanied by rice or fresh vegetables. Its flavor is a balance of juiciness, softness, and spicy aroma that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
