A recipe from the cuisine, allowed in a diet.

If you’re in a mood for Asian flavors, this Thai sea bass may just do the trick. It’s a 35-minute job where you grill (we used a grill pan, by the way) the fish, then bake it in a hot aromatic sauce. The latter one is as rich as the Asian cuisine: coconut milk, star anise, ginger, and cinnamon, to name just a few.
