Instructions

Steps to Create a Romantic Greek Dish

1. Prepare the Fish:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sea bass fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with olive oil.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers, garlic, and lemon slices around the fillets.
Arrange a couple of oregano sprigs atop the fish. Bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes readily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.

2. Prepare Aphrodite’s Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, dill, lemon zest, and a pinch of saffron.
Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

3. Serve:

Carefully plate the fish, surrounded by the roasted tomatoes, olives, and lemons.
Drizzle a generous amount of Aphrodite’s Sauce over the fish.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a few edible rose petals for an extra romantic flair.

4. Pairing Suggestions:

Serve with a chilled glass of Assyrtiko wine from Santorini, known for its crispness and mineral notes, which perfectly complement the dish’s flavors.
A side of warm, crusty bread is used to soak up the sauce.

5. Final Touch:

Dim the lights, set the table with candles, and enjoy this romantic dinner designed to ignite passion and celebrate love in 2024.
