Low Carb Keto Side Dishes to Serve with Sea Bass

Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad
Roasted Broccoli Cauliflower Florets
We didn't add any pork rind panko breadcrumbs since we chose to wrap the fish fillets with the rich flavor of prosciutto.
While the fish cooks, the prosciutto takes this fresh fish to the next level in scrumptiousness!
To get the sea bass nice and crisp you pop it under the broiler first like I did so you get more of a crisp skin then roasting it in the oven with all the veggies gets the parma ham nice and crisp too and it’s all in one sheet pan!
What Can I Replace Prosciutto with?
If you don't want to use prosciutto, you could replace it with thinly sliced deli ham or strips of bacon.
How do I know the Bass Filets are Cooked?
Use a fork to gently separate the fish filets. If the fish flakes apart, it's cooked.
How to Store leftover Sea Bass?
Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
