How to Serve Dry Aged ‘Madai’ Sea Bream
I’ll never forget the first time I served this—my daughter’s graduation dinner, with the lemon slices catching the candlelight just so. For a showstopping presentation, place the whole fish on a platter with roasted baby potatoes and steamed asparagus. A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or my herb-infused stuffing makes it feel like a celebration. For a casual weeknight, flake the fish over a bed of greens with a squeeze of lemon—lemons add brightness and vitamin C! Or try it alongside my Korean-inspired beef bowl for an East-meets-West feast.Frequently Asked Questions
