The words that best describe this fish dish, Chef? Flippin’ good! A crispy-skinned yellowtail fish fillet, spiced with NOMU Seafood Rub, is complemented by oven-roasted baby potatoes, a classic combination but elevated with some UCOOK flair. Served with a fresh green salad coated in zesty lemon juice and sweetened with piquante peppers. The dollops of basil pesto bring everything together.
