Is Sea Bass Burger Healthy?

Yes, it is.

One burger contains a significant 31 grams of protein, thanks to the sea bass being our main ingredient. Sea bass is also listed among the 12 healthiest fish to eat, according to Healthline.

At the same time, one serving also provides you with a considerable amount of vitamins A and C, accounting for 27% and 15% of an average person’s recommended daily intake, respectively.

Moreover, we have kept the other important elements, such as the number of fats, sugars, and sodium, in careful moderation. One burger contains 8g saturated fats, 6g sugars, and less than 600mg salt. All of these figures follow our nutrition guidelines from the 2020 – 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Last but not least, one hearty healthy burger such as this has less than 500 calories, a way more impressive number compared to that of a usual store-bought burger.

Main Ingredients

• Sea Bass

With its extra light and mild taste, sea bass is well-loved by many. Even if you are not a fish lover, you can easily enjoy this tasty delicate fish, with each bite of tender sea bass melting perfectly in your mouth.

For our burgers, it’s best to use fresh fillets for the ultimate taste and texture. Pick fillets that have been carefully prepared to save you time.

• Seasonings

We simply marinate the sea bass fillets with salt, pepper, paprika, and olive oil, then coat them with layers of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with butter for a gorgeous golden crust after frying.

• Veggies

The wonderful addition of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red cabbages, and red onion brightens up the taste and gives our burger a mix of textures and a splash of color.

• Burger Buns

It’s the buns that make all the fun. For the best taste and texture, you want to choose buns that are both tender and sturdy so that they hold up well.

As for which type to go with, there are many options. We have classic whites, buttery Brioches, and delicious-looking sesame buns. And if you are health-conscious, whole wheat buns are a great alternative.

Save

• Sauce

We mix together only 3 ingredients for the sauce: Japanese mayonnaise, ketchup, and plain Greek yogurt. As simple as that, this sauce is extra creamy and tasty and will take your sea bass burger to the next level.

2

For the green lettuce: Roughly chop the lettuce, wash it clean, then spin dry in a colander or use a paper towel to pat dry.

3

For the cabbage: Rinse the cabbage and pat dry using a paper towel, then cut it in half. Keep cutting each half into halves again, then cut to remove the white stem off of the four quarters. Finally, slice each quarter into shreds.

1

Marinate the sea bass: Season 18 oz sea bass with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 tbsp olive oil.

3

Mix the egg with water: Add 1 medium egg and 1 fl oz water to a small bowl, then stir to combine.

4

Coat the sea bass with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs: Coat each fillet in a thin layer of 2 tbsp flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.

5

Cook the sea bass: Place the fillets inside an air fryer and cook at 375 °F for 15 minutes.

6

Make the sauce: Add 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Heinz ketchup, and 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt to a small bowl, then stir to combine.

7

Halve and cook the burger buns: Cut each bun into halves, then spread a layer of butter on the cut surface of each half. (1 1/2 tbsp butter for all 4 buns) Next, air-fry the halves at 350 °F for 3 minutes.

8
