Pescado a la Plancha (Keto)
Grilled Fish with Keto Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, no plantains (if offered). About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
Fresh fish fillet (e.g., snapper or tilapia), grilled to perfection with simple seasonings like olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Traditionally served with rice and salad, modified to exclude high-carb sides and focus on the fish and a keto-friendly salad.
Key ingredients
White fish fillet, olive oil, lemon/lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, side salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato), oil and vinegar dressing.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no plantains (if offered). Ask for a simple green salad with olive oil and vinegar, or request no dressing and add your own. Ensure no flour-based breading or sugary glazes are used on the fish.
Watch out for
Sugary glazes or marinades on the fish. Pre-made salad dressings often contain sugar or high-carb ingredients. Accidental inclusion of high-carb vegetables in the side salad (e.g., corn, carrots).
