Comments

Note: This is an outstanding manner to prepare and serve Sea Bass and is fabulous by substituting a Black Bean Sauce for that sweet rich flavor of the Portuguese.

Special Note: The hot sesame oil adds a good dose of "snap" and gives that rich roasted flavor of sesame oil that almost everyones palate craves!
