Skewered Sea Bass with Spinach Pesto and Mango Salsa

Skewered Se It works best as a main course, and is done in roughly 35 minutes. It is a pricey recipe for fans of Mexican food. If you have baby spinach leaves, semi-ripe mangoes, green onions, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the mangoes you could follow this main course with the Coconut Panna Cotta with Passionfruit and Mangoes as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Seabass. 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 Menage a Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 11 dollars.
