I could use some creative help right now from all you awesome low carbers! I'm having pan fish tonight for dinner and can't figure out a low carb side dish other than green beans or salad. :yawn: What's your favorite low carb side to have with fish? If it helps any, the fish will likely have a peppery, spicy flavor to it.

    I love asparagus with fish, baked in the oven with olive oil and seasoning then sprinkled with parmesan when it comes out.

    Sauteed spinach
    Steamed broccoli with butter
    Fried zucchini
    Saute green beans, bacon, mushrooms and peppers in butter :-D
    Wedge salad, like kira said ... yum!

    I actually cook fish in parchment paper with olive oil, lemon juice, chopped olives, capers, carrots, celery and cherry tomatoes ... yummy

    I had halibut last night and made kind of a random side but it was good: sautéed spinach and portabella mushrooms in Earth Balance "butter" with a sprinkle of feta and garlic

    I like to make tzatziki to have on the side when I eat fish.

    Last night we had Swai and sprinkled some taco seasoning on it then put it in a low carb tortilla with homemade salsa, lettuce and sharp cheddar and put the tzatziki type mixture I made on it. I used Greek Gods Plain (it has higher fat than most grocery store yogurt and it's really good http://www.greekgodsyogurt.com/html/yplain.php - I got it at Kroger's, I'm not sure where else they sell it).

    Roasted cauliflower, pour some coconut oil on it, sea salt and pepper and some chili powder, roast at 450 degrees until carmalized. Never thought I'd see the day that I would like veggies.
