💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can replace butter in this dish.

capers

🥗Healthier: green olives

Green olives or pickles can provide a similar briny flavor at a lower cost.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Clean and gut the sea bass, then pat dry with paper towels.

Season the fish inside and out with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and chopped onion; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in cherry tomatoes, capers, and red pepper flakes; cook for another 2 minutes.

Deglaze the skillet with white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Place the sea bass on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spoon the spinach and tomato mixture over the fish, then drizzle with lemon juice.

Dot with butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
