Fried keto cod with vegetables and cream is a delicate and exquisite dish that perfectly combines the freshness of sea fish, the richness of cream, and a light tang of lemon. It was born within the framework of modern author cuisine aiming to unite healthiness and gastronomic pleasure. Cod fried in aromatic olive oil with sea salt and black pepper acquires a crispy crust and is then complemented by juicy vegetables and a creamy sauce, creating a harmony of textures and flavors. Leek adds a light sweetness while cherry tomatoes bring brightness and freshness. This dish is perfect for those on a keto diet as it contains healthy fats and protein without being overloaded with carbohydrates. It can be served with herbs or keto bread to enjoy its rich and balanced taste.
