Poisson Meunière
Pan-Seared Fish Meunière
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
A simple yet elegant preparation of pan-fried fish (often sole or trout), lightly dredged in flour (which must be avoided or minimal for keto) and cooked in butter with lemon and parsley. It's often served with naturally keto-friendly green vegetables like haricots verts.
Key ingredients
White fish (sole, trout), butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, typically served with green beans.
Optional tweaks
Confirm the fish is not heavily breaded or dredged in flour. If it is, request it be pan-fried without flour. Ensure sides are keto-friendly (e.g., green beans, not potatoes).
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans riz, pommes de terre ni trop de farine pour la Meunière. Puis-je avoir des asperges, haricots verts ou une salade simple ?
No rice, potatoes, or heavy flouring for the Poisson Meunière, please. Can I have asparagus, green beans, or a simple side salad?
Watch out for
Flour dredging (if used), high-carb side dishes.
