What is Dorada fish?
Dorada fish is a Mediterranean sea bream, often sold whole or as fillets. Its flesh is white, firm and mild in flavour, so it takes well to simple cooking. Around the Mediterranean it is commonly grilled or baked, often served whole with lemon, herbs and vegetables; it also works well as an easy fish supper in other kitchens.
It is high in protein and relatively low in fat: a 100 g portion provides 18.7 g of protein and 2.1 g of fat. For a lighter meal, grill or bake it rather than frying, and pair it with seasonal vegetables or a crisp salad.
