What it is
A whole fish (often tilapia or red snapper) grilled to perfection, seasoned simply with salt and lime. The keto version substitutes traditional rice and potatoes with a fresh green salad with a vinaigrette.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (tilapia/snapper), lime, salt, pepper, olive oil, mixed greens, cucumber, tomato (small amount), bell pepper, vinaigrette (olive oil, vinegar, herbs).
How to make it keto
Request fish grilled, not fried or breaded. Ask for no rice, no potatoes, and no plantains. Ensure the green salad dressing is oil-and-vinegar based, without sugar. Limit high-carb vegetables in salad (e.g., tomatoes, carrots).
Watch out for
Frying/breading, high-carb side dishes (rice, potatoes, tortillas). Sugary salad dressings.
