Keto Bacalhau com Natas (Couve-Flor)
Creamy Baked Cod with Cauliflower and Onions
Yes, with a tweak: the key modification is to replace the traditional sliced potatoes with cauliflower florets. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.

Salted cod (bacalhau), olive oil, onions, garlic, heavy cream, cauliflower florets, nutmeg, bay leaf, cheese (optional, for topping), salt, pepper.

Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Quero o Bacalhau com Natas com couve-flor em vez de batatas. Por favor, confirme que o molho é só com natas, sem farinha ou amido.
I'd like the Bacalhau com Natas with cauliflower instead of potatoes. Please ensure the sauce is made with cream and no flour or starch.
