Sole (sans Farine) à la Sauce Citron Beurre
Pan-Seared Sole with Lemon-Butter Sauce (Flour-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no flour dredge or breading. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
Delicate sole fillet, pan-seared to perfection and often finished with a rich sauce made from browned butter, fresh lemon juice, and capers. The traditional 'Meunière' preparation involves a light flour dredge, which must be explicitly avoided for keto.
Key ingredients
Sole fillet, butter, lemon juice, capers, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no flour dredge or breading. Ensure any accompanying sides are keto-friendly (e.g., steamed asparagus, spinach sautéed in butter).
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour la Sole Meunière, s'il vous plaît, pas de farine sur le poisson. Faites-la poêler nature. Et pas de féculents comme pommes de terre ou riz.
For the Sole Meunière, please no flour for the fish. Pan-sear it plain. And no starchy sides like potatoes or rice, please.
Watch out for
Flour dredge/breading, sugary glazes on accompanying vegetables.
