What it is
A delicately pan-fried white fish fillet, such as cod or plaice, served simply with a rich lemon butter sauce. It is paired with creamy spinach as a keto-friendly side instead of potatoes.
Key ingredients
White fish fillet (e.g., Cod, Plaice), butter, lemon, cooking oil, salt, pepper, fresh spinach, heavy cream, garlic, nutmeg.
How to make it keto
Omit any potato sides (boiled, fried, mashed). Confirm the butter sauce is not thickened with flour. Request creamed spinach (Sahnepspinat) as a side, confirming it's not made with added sugar or excessive flour.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zum Fischfilet bitte keine Kartoffeln oder Brot. Gerne gedämpften Spinat, grüne Bohnen oder einen grünen Salat mit Essig-Öl.
For the Fischfilet, please no potatoes or bread. I'd like steamed spinach, green beans, or a green salad with oil and vinegar instead.
Watch out for
While butter sauce is typically keto-friendly, some restaurants might use thickeners. Creamed spinach can sometimes contain small amounts of flour or sugar.
