Everyone will be fighting over the crunchy seasoned breadcrumbs in Rachael’s quick + easy baked fish dish.
When making her Simple Seafood Lover’s Supper, she serves the fish after a first course of Spaghetti or Linguini with Red Clam Sauce. Round out the meal with a raw zucchini salad or shaved fennel and raw escarole dressed with lemon and EVOO, salt and pepper.
For an aperitif, try John’s Strawberry Negroni flavored with his homemade Strawberry-Infused Gin.
