Keto-Style Pan-Fried Cod (No Flour)

What it is
Fresh cod fillets, lightly seasoned and pan-fried without a traditional flour batter to create a crispy, golden exterior and tender, flaky interior. A simple yet classic Greek preparation.
Key ingredients
Cod fillet, extra virgin olive oil (or other high-heat cooking oil), salt, black pepper, lemon wedges (for serving).
How to make it keto
Crucially, specify 'χωρίς αλεύρι' (choris alevri - without flour) to avoid traditional batter. Ensure it's pan-fried in olive oil or butter, not deep-fried in seed oils. Request keto-friendly sides (e.g., steamed greens, grilled vegetables) instead of potatoes or rice.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Είναι Keto-Style. Χωρίς αλεύρι, παρακαλώ. Να τηγανιστεί σε ελαιόλαδο ή βούτυρο. Χωρίς πατάτες ή ρύζι, με χόρτα ή λαχανικά σχάρας.
This is Keto-Style. No flour, please. Pan-fry in olive oil or butter. No potatoes or rice, but keto-friendly greens or grilled vegetables.
Watch out for
Standard preparation involves a flour batter. Deep-frying oils can be inflammatory. Accompaniments like skordalia (garlic potato mash) are high-carb and must be avoided.
