White Wine Risotto With Sea Bream
Sea bream is pretty similar to sea bass, so if you like the one you shouldn’t miss the other. Let’s bake it in olive oil and lemon juice, but not before stuffing it with green chili and ginger. We’ll serve it along with some creamy risotto cooked in wine. White wine, that is!
