Sea Bass à la Michele

This oven-roasted sea bass recipe uses an easy and crowd-pleasing technique (and by crowd, I mean my wife). Whenever I can't decide on what to do with a piece of fish, I usually opt for this method, which involves roasting seafood after it's been slathered in a highly seasoned vinaigrette. It's baked on top of a warm potato salad.

Sabzi polo is a classic Nowruz (Iranian New Year) dish brimming with fragrant fresh green herbs and the scent of spring. A fragrant, long-grain basmati rice is optimal here. This version is prepared with a crispy, saffron-tinged lavash tahdig that also acts as a barrier so the herbs don't burn at the bottom of the pot. Enjoy sabzi polo with mahi sorkh shodeh (fried fish) and a side of smoked fish.

I'm going to show you my take on the gin and tonic, the most refreshing hot-weather cocktail ever. Made in a style invented by chefs from the Basque region of Spain, the whole idea is to add things to the glass to make things that already taste great in the gin taste even more amazing. I encourage you to try some different gins, and decide on your own custom garnishes.
