Japanese Sea Bream Carpaccio with Keto Dressing
Yes, with a tweak: request a dressing made without sugar or mirin. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Japanese dishes.
What it is
Delicately thin slices of fresh Japanese sea bream (Tai) sashimi, beautifully arranged and drizzled with a keto-friendly dressing. This dressing typically consists of extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sugar-free soy sauce, and a hint of aromatics like garlic or ginger, without traditional high-sugar ponzu.
Key ingredients
Fresh Tai (sea bream) sashimi, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sugar-free soy sauce, salt, black pepper, thinly sliced radish, shiso leaves, or microgreens for garnish.
