Stekte Fiskekaker med Smørsaus og Grønnsaker
Pan-Fried Fish Cakes with Butter Sauce and Vegetables (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm minimal or no starchy binders in the fish cakes. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Norwegian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Savory pan-fried fish cakes made from white fish (often cod or haddock), served with a simple melted butter sauce and low-carb green vegetables.
Key ingredients
White fish (cod, haddock), milk/cream, potato starch (minimal, for binding), salt, pepper, butter, dill, broccoli florets, asparagus.
How to make it keto
Confirm minimal or no starchy binders in the fish cakes. Request no potatoes, and replace traditional white sauce (often flour-based) with a simple melted butter sauce or a cream sauce without thickeners. Serve with green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus) instead of potatoes or mixed root vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Norwegian)
Er fiskekakene med lite stivelse? Ingen poteter. Ønsker smeltet smør- eller fløtesaus uten tykningsmiddel, og grønne grønnsaker som brokkoli.
Are fish cakes low starch? No potatoes. Melted butter or cream sauce (no thickener). Green vegetables like broccoli, please.
Watch out for
Starch binders in fish cakes (check if significant), flour in sauces, traditional high-carb sides like potatoes or carrot puree. Peas can add up if in large quantities.
