Peixe Grelhado (Dourada ou Robalo) com Salada Verde
Grilled Sea Bream or Sea Bass with Green Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes) and 'com salada verde' (with green salad). About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Fresh whole grilled fish, such as Dourada (Sea Bream) or Robalo (Sea Bass), simply seasoned with salt and sometimes a drizzle of olive oil. A staple in Portuguese cuisine, inherently keto, best served with a generous green salad instead of the usual potatoes.
Key ingredients
Whole sea bream or sea bass, sea salt, olive oil, mixed green salad (lettuce, cucumber, minimal tomato, onion).
How to make it keto
Request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes) and 'com salada verde' (with green salad). Ask for olive oil and vinegar for the salad, avoiding sugary dressings.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
O Peixe Grelhado, por favor, sem batatas e com salada verde. Traga azeite e vinagre para temperar, sem molho.
I'd like the Peixe Grelhado without potatoes, with a green salad. Please bring olive oil and vinegar for the dressing.
Watch out for
Traditional potato sides. Sugary salad dressings. Cross-contamination on grill if cooked alongside carb-heavy items.
