Nourishment for your body: Branzino is rich in omega 3, protein, and the antioxidant selenium. Selenium helps protect the body against heart disease and cancer, boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation.
Tips when cooking: Branzino is a mediterranean sea bass. It is a wonderful fish to start experimenting with for those of you who don’t ordinarily eat fish. It has a delicate white flesh that tastes mild with a subtle sweet flavor. And good news! It is difficult to overcook fish when cooking it whole so it won’t taste dry.
