Peixe Assado no Sal Grosso com Legumes Grelhados
Salt-Crusted Whole Fish with Grilled Vegetables
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole firm white fish (e.g., Tilapia, Robalo, Cherne) baked or grilled completely encased in a thick layer of coarse salt, which locks in moisture and infuses rich flavor. The salt crust is removed before eating, revealing tender, flaky fish. It's typically served with simple, low-carb grilled vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole white fish, coarse salt, herbs (rosemary, thyme), lemon slices, olive oil. Grilled vegetables: zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, eggplant, olive oil, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Request only grilled low-carb vegetables. Ensure no starchy sides like potatoes, rice, or farofa are served. Confirm no sugary marinades are used on the vegetables.
Watch out for
Potential for sugary glazes on vegetables, starchy side dishes commonly offered, cross-contamination with non-keto items if sharing grill/oven space.
