Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 can (12 oz) Low-carb beer
- 2 cups (for frying) Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cod fillets by patting them dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and then pour in the low-carb beer. Gently whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
Step 6
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully lay it into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sauce or a wedge of lemon.
