Lemon sole, flesh only, steamed

Lemon sole is a flatfish, and these figures describe its flesh only, cooked by steaming. It mainly provides protein, with little fat, alongside vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, selenium and iodine. Per 100g, steamed lemon sole contains 22g of protein, 0.9g of fat, 1.3µg of vitamin B12 and 65µg of selenium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while selenium contributes to normal thyroid function. For people watching salt or fat intake, added salt, butter or sauces can change the amounts in the finished dish. Full nutrient figures for the steamed flesh are provided in the tables below.
