At this sports bar and lounge in River North you can always order fan favorites, but can you score big with a healthy meal? Chef Rodelio Aglibot at Reverie says their glazed sea bass is one smart choice.
He pairs the sea bass with a miso corn sauce and with sautéed kale, mushrooms, and corn.
Why is it a healthy choice? Aglibot says, “It has a nice oil content, and it’s really high in omega 3’s and fatty acids.” Another secert of this chef is subbing miso instead of cream– the texture is still creamy, with less calories.
You can find Chef Rodelio and his sea bass at 414 N. Orleans. And check out the recipe below:
