Pan-seared Red Snapper in Butter-Lemon Sauce
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Puerto Rican dishes.
What it is
A fresh fillet of red snapper (chillo), pan-seared to a beautiful golden crisp on the exterior while remaining flaky and moist inside. It's then generously bathed in a rich, tangy, and aromatic sauce made from melted butter, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Key ingredients
Red snapper fillet, butter, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the butter-lemon sauce. Request that no high-carb side dishes such as rice, tostones, mofongo, or roasted potatoes are served with the fish.
Watch out for
The main risks are the potential use of flour or starch as a thickener in the butter sauce, or high-carb side dishes automatically served with the entrée.
