Baked Sea Bass Fillet Recipe

Roasted sea bass Recipe Overview

Sea bass is a delicacy! This expensive fish is worth the hefty price tag. It can best be described as a lean whit fish low in calories and high in protein. The meat has a mild, delicate flavor profile with a subtle sweetness that is similar to grouper or cod fish. The flesh is moist, buttery, and tender, with firm, medium-sized flakes like haddock. Sea bass is an excellent choice for people with a sensitive palate that don’t enjoy “fishy tasting” seafood.

You can frequently find sea bass fish fillets in breaded form at the grocery store, however for a healthy version of the sea bass recipe uses all natural, white sea bass fillets. Our roasted sea bass recipe uses 4oz-6oz cleaned sea bass fillets. Non-cleaned sea bass fillets have spines and sharp gill covers, which should be removed before cooking.

While chilean sea bass from the southern pacific is at risk of being over-fished, organizations that promote sustainable fishing suggest that people avoid eating this fish in favor of farmed sea bass from the mediterranean. In North America sea bass is frequently imported, which adds to the hefty price tag, but you can also find our healthy baked tilapia recipe for a more affordable type of fish.
