Introduction
Lemon soup with pea puree and sea bass. Tonight is experiment night.
Just purchased sea bass and wanted to prepare something different. The recipe below is an adaptation from a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis.
The lemon in the soup is just the perfect amount. Not too bitter as a result quite inviting. Because of the garlic and parsley have a rich bold flavor, c blended with the peas, the puree is this divine smooth paste. Furthermore the sea bass, which is a rich texture, blends so well with the soup and the pea puree.
Different yet quite tasty. A meal on its own.
