Our son-in-love had a birthday last week. Our tradition is to make whatever meal they desire, as far as it’s possible for me or Tom to make.

Matt chose fish and left it wide-open as to what kind and what to make with it. Ahh, my favorite challenge.

I got to work researching recipes once Tom came home with the fish—Wild caught Chilean Sea Bass from Ukraine.

He purchased it at Costco, in case you were wondering if Tom went to Ukraine to catch it himself. 😂 We also have dear friends in Ukraine which made this meal feel even more special.

Since it’s been so unbelievably hot this Summer—we’re talking heat indexes in the 110 degree mark and up—I chose a lemon herb butter sauce for the pan fried fish. It was refreshingly good and flaky.

Not to mention it was so easy to make.

Matt loved the dish making his birthday another one to remember. I now have a new favorite fish recipe to add to my Pinterest, Yes Chef, board.

If you’d like to make this yourself, I found it on Organically Addison’s blog. Thanks Addison!

Oh, and today is Tom’s BD. We are excited to have another year together around the sun. I can’t wait to see what he wants me to make for his birthday dinner, but I already have an idea…stay tuned.
