This simple Turkish-style pan dish features red mullet cooked with garlic in olive oil, without flour. Because it contains no carbohydrate-based ingredients, it can fit a ketogenic diet. It contains no nuts.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the fish

5 min

Rub the red mullet on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside without dredging it in flour.

2

Pan-fry the fish

12 min

Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then remove it. Cook the fish in the same oil until browned on both sides.

3

Serve with lemon

3 min

Transfer the fish to a warm plate, top with lemon slices and the sautéed garlic, and serve.

Reminder

Pat the fish thoroughly dry with paper towels before placing it in the pan; otherwise, the oil may splatter and the skin will not crisp. Remove the garlic before it burns and turns bitter.

Zeytinyağını gereğinden fazla kızdırdım ve balığın derisi tavaya yapışıp bir kısmı dağıldı; tabakta göründüğü kadar düzgün çıkmadı ama tadı yine de gayet güzeldi, bir dahaki sefere ateşi biraz kısacağım.

Tavada pişirme süresini tarifte yazan 12 dakika yerine 8 dakikada bıraktım çünkü balıklarım biraz daha küçüktü, yine de her iki yüzü de güzelce kızarmıştı bile.
