Keto Bahamian Fish and Savory Cauliflower Puree
Pan-Seared Fish with Creamy Cauliflower (Keto Grits Style)
Yes, with a tweak: omission of traditional corn-based grits and replacement with cauliflower puree. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bahamian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A tender, pan-seared local fish fillet (e.g., snapper or grouper) seasoned with traditional Bahamian spices, served alongside a rich and creamy cauliflower puree flavored to mimic the savory notes of traditional Bahamian grits.
Key ingredients
Local white fish fillet (snapper, grouper), cauliflower, heavy cream, butter, garlic, onion, Scotch Bonnet pepper (optional, small amount), fresh thyme, Bahamian seasoning blend (salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder), olive oil.
How to make it keto
Omission of traditional corn-based grits and replacement with cauliflower puree. Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening and no sugar in seasoning blends or sauces. Emphasize pan-searing over deep-frying the fish.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made seasoning blends, excessive onion/garlic, cauliflower portion size if overly generous, cross-contamination with traditional grits in shared kitchen equipment.
