What it is
A fresh whole fish, typically succulent Sea Bass (Levrek) or flavorful Sea Bream (Çipura), is simply seasoned with salt and pepper, brushed with olive oil, and grilled to perfection. It is served with a generous side of fresh green salad and lemon wedges, providing a clean and naturally keto-friendly meal.
Key ingredients
Whole sea bass or sea bream, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon, mixed greens (lettuce, arugula), red cabbage, small amount of carrot, tomato, cucumber, olive oil, lemon dressing.
How to make it keto
Request no side bread or rice. Confirm the salad dressing is a simple olive oil and lemon mixture, free from added sugars or other high-carb ingredients. Avoid any accompanying sauces or dips unless their keto-friendliness is explicitly verified.
Watch out for
Salad dressings can sometimes contain hidden sugars. Ensure the fish is grilled ('ızgara') and not fried ('tava balık'), as fried versions are typically breaded.
