Fall Harvest Maple Sage Bowl

Garlic Lemon Caper Fish

To be honest, I have never loved seafood. Until recently. How this came about? I still don’t know but I LOVE white fish – cod, halibut, sole, you name it. I like it even better if it’s crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and drenched in lemon and garlic. This dish is just…
