Sole à la Poêle, Sauce au Beurre Citronné (Sans Farine)
Pan-Seared Sole with Lemon Butter Sauce (No Flour)
Yes, with a tweak: request the fish be pan-seared 'sans farine' (without flour) or 'non-breaded'. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
Delicately pan-seared sole, prepared without the traditional flour dredging (à la meunière), and served with a rich, tangy lemon butter sauce. A light yet satisfying keto-friendly fish option.
Key ingredients
Sole fillet, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, side of sautéed spinach.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the fish be pan-seared 'sans farine' (without flour) or 'non-breaded'. Ask for no starchy sides like rice or potatoes. A side of sautéed spinach or asparagus would be perfect.
Watch out for
The traditional flour dredging (for 'meunière' preparations). Potential for a sweet component in the butter sauce or sugary glazes (unlikely for classic lemon butter). Starchy side dishes.
