Sweetheart Idea Number One, Mini Post!

Sharing a whole fish is a light and perfect meal to share on V-day!

Seared Black Bass with Spinach Berry Salad, & a Lemon Muscadet Gastrique

For the Bass:
1 Black Bass, cleaned and scaled
Flour, as needed
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut three slits in the skin of the bass, preferably in the direction it swims. Season it well and all sides and in the cavity. Dredge lightly in flour, and sear in a hot pan on both sides till golden brown. Finish in the oven till meat is slightly underdone, and super juicy, the carry over cooking will finish cooking it when you remove it from the oven. 
For the Salad:
1 1/2 Cups Spinach
Handful Blueberries
Handfull Ripe Strawberries, sliced
For the Gastrique:
1Cup Muscadet Wine
Juice of 4-5 Lemons
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method:
Combine wine, and lemon juice, save for one lemons worth of juice, and reduce till light caramelization starts to happen. At that point hit it with the remaining lemon juice and season to taste. Drizzle over fish and salad, and enjoy!
