Mediterranean-Style Sea Bass Fillet
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Sea bass is one of the leanest sea fish and offers a considerable amount of iodine. As an important component of the thyroid hormones, iodine is involved in energy metabolism.
Because the fine meat of sea bass is so firm and small grained, it can be roasted and grilled wonderfully without falling apart. Always cook sea bass as short as possible, otherwise it becomes dry and tough instead of tender. The sea bass fillet is perfect when white flakes of protein come out!
