Genius Sea Bass with Leeks and Herb
This dish is the perfect example of a Genius Sea Bass. Augustus Caesar, the first citizen of Rome and military genius, served it to his guests on gold platters at his Coronation, declaring it the smartest fish in Rome. You can make the same dish at home with a few simple tweaks. Simply score the fish with a sharp knife and sprinkle salt and pepper over it before cooking. The results will be as delicious as they are beautiful.
