Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the almonds until they are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a coarse meal, not almond butter.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix the almond meal, gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 5

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 6

Pat the sole fillets dry with a paper towel.

Step 7

Dip each fillet first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8

Then coat the fillets with the almond mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure adherence.

Step 9

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they are golden brown.

Step 11

Transfer the golden fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sole is cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates.

Step 14

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of each fillet before serving.

Step 15

Serve with your choice of gluten-free sides and enjoy!
