Pescado Asado con Ensalada
Grilled Fish with Side Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request grilled fish (not fried, to avoid breading). About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
A whole grilled fish, typically tilapia or snapper, seasoned and cooked until flaky and tender. To make it keto, traditional carb-heavy sides like rice, beans, and fried plantains are removed, leaving a delicious, protein-rich fish served with a fresh green salad with an oil and vinegar dressing.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (tilapia, snapper), lemon, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper, mixed greens, tomato (small amount), cucumber, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Request grilled fish (not fried, to avoid breading). Absolutely no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no fried plantains. Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades for fish, sugary salad dressings, breading if accidentally fried, large amounts of tomatoes in salad.
