How to make it keto
Request no rice (riz) or potatoes (pommes de terre) or any other starchy sides. Ask for a side of plain sautéed asparagus (asperges) or green beans (haricots verts) cooked in butter. Confirm minimal or no flour dusting for the 'meunière' style, or that it can be omitted.
Watch out for
Rice, potatoes, any sugary glazes on the fish, and potential flour dusting for the meunière preparation (though usually minimal).
