If you are looking for a simple keto recipe made with a few common ingredients, try sea bass baked with homemade pesto. Unlike fatty fish such as salmon, sea bass is naturally low in fat and high in protein. Using homemade pesto and ghee not only enhances the flavour but also adds healthy fats that make this meal suitable for a ketogenic diet.
