Pargo Rojo a la Sal (Keto, sin acompañamientos con carbohidratos)
Salt-Baked Red Snapper (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugary marinades are used. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
A whole red snapper, seasoned with herbs, garlic, and citrus, then baked in a crust of coarse sea salt. The salt crust locks in moisture and flavor, resulting in a tender, flaky fish. Served with a side of sautéed low-carb vegetables like asparagus or broccoli instead of traditional rice or plantains.
Key ingredients
Whole red snapper, sea salt, olive oil, garlic, fresh oregano, thyme, lemon slices, bell peppers, onions, cilantro, asparagus or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Explicitly request keto-friendly side vegetables (e.g., green salad, avocado, sautéed broccoli/asparagus) instead of rice, plantains, or root vegetables.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in seasoning blends, high-carb side dishes if not specified, cross-contamination with breading in kitchens.
