How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to request no flour, breading, or dredging on the fish. Ensure the sauce is a simple beurre noisette (brown butter) with lemon and parsley, without any added thickeners or sugar. Ask for green vegetables instead of any traditional carb sides.
Watch out for
The traditional preparation of Sole Meunière often involves lightly dusting the fish with flour before pan-frying. This flour must be omitted. Also, common carb sides like potatoes must be avoided.
