Gebratene Forelle
Pan-Fried Trout with Lemon Butter Sauce and Green Beans
Yes, with a tweak: omit any potato sides (e.g., parsley potatoes, boiled potatoes). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A whole, fresh trout, typically pan-fried until its skin is crisp and the flesh is flaky and tender, usually finished with a simple lemon-butter sauce. A delicious and naturally low-carb fish option.
Key ingredients
Whole trout, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Omit any potato sides (e.g., parsley potatoes, boiled potatoes). Request a side of green beans, sautéed spinach, or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead. Confirm no flour or thickeners are used in the lemon-butter sauce.
