35 minutes
Sea bass baked with pine nuts and raisins is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the delicate, slightly sweet texture of the fish with a crunchy nut filling and an aromatic blend of spices. Historically, pine nuts and raisins were used in Mediterranean cuisine to add depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness to dishes. Baking preserves the fish's juiciness while rosemary and curry add zest. This dish is perfect for both festive dinners and cozy family lunches. It can be served with a light vegetable side or rice to highlight the rich bouquet of flavors. The fragrant crust and tender sea bass fillet create a harmony of tastes that captivates from the first bite.
