Chermoula Samak (Keto Modified)
Baked or Grilled Fish with Chermoula and Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: specify no high-carb vegetables (like potatoes or carrots) in the cooking or as a side. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Moroccan dishes.
What it is
Fresh whole fish or fillets marinated in a vibrant chermoula sauce (parsley, cilantro, garlic, lemon, olive oil, spices) and then baked or grilled. This version is modified to be served with steamed or grilled low-carb vegetables instead of traditional potato or rice sides.
Key ingredients
White fish (e.g., seabass, snapper), parsley, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, zucchini, bell peppers.
How to make it keto
Specify no high-carb vegetables (like potatoes or carrots) in the cooking or as a side. Request simple steamed or grilled keto vegetables (e.g., green beans, zucchini, broccoli) or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
Possible hidden sugar in pre-made chermoula (uncommon, but possible). High-carb side dishes are the main risk.
