Excel With Mel

I focus on 3 things when it comes to the meals I make at home:

1. Easy
2. Tasty
3. Healthy

And maybe not even in that order.  I have a variety of recipe books I often reference so instead of keeping all these easy, tasty, and healthy recipes all to myself, I’m going to start sharing my favorites on a regular basis in hopes to inspire you.  Cool?

• 1 lb. sea bass (cleaned and scaled)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
• salt and pepper
• 2 lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 450F°.

1. In a cup, mix garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place fish in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
3. Rub fish with oil mixture.
4. Bake fish, uncovered, for 15 minutes; then sprinkle with parsley or Italian seasoning and continue to bake for 5 more minutes (or until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily).
5. Drizzle remaining pan juices over fish and garnish with lemon wedges.

Serves 2-3

I then topped with some tabbouleh, and added some mixed peppers and onions, plus a 1/2 baked sweet potato sprinkled with cinnamon.

Enjoy!
