Steamed Whole Fish with Vegetables (Keto, no starchy sides)
Yes, with a tweak: omit rice, beans, and plantains. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole fresh fish (e.g., red snapper) steamed until tender, typically with a medley of low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and herbs, in a light, savory broth or sauce. A healthier alternative to fried fish, always served with high-carb sides that must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Whole fish, bell peppers (various colors), white onions, garlic, cilantro, lime, olive oil, fish broth, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Omit rice, beans, and plantains. Confirm no starchy vegetables like potatoes or carrots are included in the steaming process.
Watch out for
Natural sugars from bell peppers and onions. Hidden sugar in pre-made broths or sauces. Less common, but some recipes might include starchy vegetables.
