Steve’s Cobia Courtbouillon (Ku-B-ion)

Baked lemon fish in a spicy tomato sauce topped with crabmeat. I learned how to cook this from my late aunt Teresa. I also added a little something to it. If you use the best white fish (cobia) this will take your breath away, ENJOY! PS. Any firm white fish will work for this dish.

  • 1/4 cup light virgin olive oil
