Baked Fish with Vegetables and Olive Oil
Yes, with a tweak: specify low-carb vegetables only. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Syrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole baked fish (such as sea bream or snapper) nestled amongst a medley of fresh, low-carb vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and ripe tomatoes, all generously drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with garlic, lemon, and herbs. The fish and vegetables cook together, infusing flavors.
Key ingredients
Whole fish, olive oil, zucchini, bell peppers (various colors), onions, tomatoes (minimal), garlic, lemon slices, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper.
