What it is
Delicate pan-fried whitefish fillet, a prized freshwater fish in Finland, typically served with boiled potatoes. For keto, the fish is cooked in butter and served with green vegetables and herbs, specifically excluding high-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Whitefish fillet, butter, salt, white pepper, fresh dill. Keto sides typically include steamed broccoli, asparagus, or a simple green salad with olive oil dressing.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no breading on the fish. Replace traditional potato or other root vegetable sides with low-carb options such as steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, green beans) or a side salad with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. Confirm no flour or sugar in any accompanying sauces.
