Healthy, because
Only 1 gram of fat contains one serving! On the other hand, it provides a lot of protein, which the fish provides; protein-rich food quickly leads to a feeling of satiety. Potassium is represented here with one quarter of the recommended daily intake - it keeps the water and electrolyte balance in balance, ensures a regular heartbeat and regulates blood pressure.
Even smarter
The pike-perch fillet is ideal as a low-carb evening meal: the protein-rich food is intended to stimulate the nightly burning of fat.
