The aroma of fresh rosemary complements the flavor, evoking Mediterranean motifs. This recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner or festive gathering, revealing a full palette of flavors—from citrus freshness to deep soy umami. Serve with a light vegetable side or rice to highlight the richness of taste.
