Yesterday, I bought a small piece of sea bass for dinner and after realizing I didn't have any recipes for sea bass, I made one up. Quantities here are for 1 person. Just double, etc. for more. A nice, easy, light summer meal. You could probably substitute ANY firm-fleshed fish. But because sea bass is so bland, the sauce did wonders for it. Halibut might also work well.
Note: The tomatoes and mushrooms release so much liquid that they cook the potatoes and fish by steaming. Serve with crusty bread or rice to sop up the sauce! A nice, light, fruity Italian red wine is lovely with this!
