"Such an incredibly gorgeous dish, while being (secretly) very simple to prepare!" says says Rachel Maser, mom of four and founder/creator of the clean eating blog, Clean Food Crush®. "Since it comes out perfectly every time and involves minimal hands-on prep, I love to serve this to guests because it looks a lot more difficult than it really it. Because this dish is so simple, be sure to use the freshest ingredients you can find. The fish stays good in the fridge for up to three days when stored properly in a sealed container. Reheats nicely in a skillet or in the air fryer."
