Ingredients
- 4 pieces Perch fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Oat milk
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil
- 1 optional for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the perch fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites and oat milk until fully blended.
Step 4
Dip each perch fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to help the coating adhere to the fish.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Carefully place the fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried perch fillets immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
