This recipe covers 24% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, primal, fodmap friendly, and pescatarian diet. A mixture of lemons, butter, herbs, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. To use up the lemons you could follow this main course with the Blackberry Lemon Chess Pie w/ Honey Jumbleberry Sauce. How I won the SF Food Wars – Pie or Die Competition as a dessert. It works well as a rather pricey main course.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Ziobaffan Organic Pinot Grigio. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
