Healthy & Keto Fish Recipes
These easy healthy fish recipes have simple ingredients and easy prep, and include all kinds of fish, like salmon, cod halibut, tuna, and more. They are great sources of healthy omega 3 fats and naturally gluten-free, but more importantly, they are packed with flavor and quick to make. Each recipe includes tips for cooking the fish to the perfect flaky texture. You’ll find keto fish recipes here as well.
Making a fish dish into a complete meal is super easy — just add a veggie side dish or healthy salad, and maybe some mashed cauliflower for the low carb eaters and potatoes for anyone else. (The salad I make most often with fish is tomato cucumber avocado salad: Just throw together some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and maybe some red onion, and add a quick vinaigrette.)
If you’re a fan of seafood in general or really want to wow your guests, all of those sides also pair well with other types of healthy seafood recipes beyond just fish.

Is Fish Keto Friendly?
Yes, fish is definitely keto! It’s very low in carbs, packed with protein and healthy omega 3 fats, and of course, it tastes delicious.
Other seafood is keto friendly as well, though, so be sure to try other healthy seafood recipes, such as shrimp, crab, scallops, or even lobster, after you try these keto friendly fish recipes.
Popular Keto Fish Recipes
Most healthy fish recipes are naturally keto friendly, but anything with breading, rice, or breadcrumbs will not be. That’s why I have some dedicated keto fish recipes designed to offer you the same dishes, without the carbs. (My Easy Keto Cookbook also has a recipe for low carb fish tacos!) Try these out, but also don’t miss the plain pan seared, grilled, air fryer, and baked fish recipes above, which are naturally low carb as well.
