Red mullet is pan-fried in olive oil with garlic without any flour coating for this dish, making it a good fit for a ketogenic diet since it contains no starch. Since no nuts are used, it is also safe for anyone with a nut allergy.
Rub the red mullet with salt and pepper on both sides and leave them as they are, with no flour.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, sauté the garlic briefly until fragrant and remove it, then cook the fish in the same oil until browned on both sides.
Transfer the fish to a warm plate, top with lemon slices and the sautéed garlic, and serve.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels before adding it to the pan, or the oil will spatter and the skin will not crisp up properly. If you do not remove the garlic before the fish, it can burn and turn bitter.
Using goatfish instead of red mullet gives a similar result, and both can be cooked the same way without flour. If the olive oil gets too hot, the fish skin can stick and fall apart, so medium heat is safer.

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.
