About this category
Fish fits keto naturally because it has no carbs and cooks fast. Oily fish like salmon, mackerel, herring and sardines contribute omega-3 fats, while white fish like cod, pollock and halibut stays lean and takes on whatever sauce you pair it with. A cod filet in lemon caper butter with green beans is a good example of how a few simple ingredients turn a lean fillet into a satisfying keto plate.
Salmon is the most frequent star in this category, from planked salmon to salmon saltimbocca with sage and prosciutto. Several recipes need no cooking at all: a matjes herring salad with cucumber and red onion or a sardine avocado salad comes together from jars and cans in a few minutes, which makes them handy for lunch at home or at work.
When buying, choose fresh fish that smells clean, or rely on frozen fillets, which are often frozen soon after the catch. Canned fish is a practical pantry staple, but check that it is packed in oil or water rather than a sweetened sauce. Avoid breaded products, since the coating adds carbs. Cooked fish keeps only briefly, so plan to eat leftovers within a day or two.
