Salade d'Hout M'charml (Keto-Modifié)
Marinated Fish Salad (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no added sugar to the marinade or dressing. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Moroccan dishes.
What it is
A refreshing and zesty Moroccan appetizer or light meal, consisting of flaked or chopped cooked fish (often mackerel, sardines, or firm white fish) generously marinated in a vibrant chermoula dressing. The chermoula is a classic Moroccan condiment made from fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley), garlic, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, and chili. This prepares the fish as a flavorful standalone salad.
Key ingredients
Cooked fish (e.g., mackerel, sardines, tuna, or baked white fish), extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, fresh garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder (optional), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no added sugar to the marinade or dressing. Request it served as a stand-alone salad, without bread, olives (if not desired), or other high-carb garnishes.
Watch out for
Minimal natural carbs from herbs and lemon. Potential for hidden sugars in commercially prepared chermoula or dressings.
