Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup crushed pork rinds
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 large egg
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup olive oil (or avocado oil) for frying
• 1 whole lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, crushed pork rinds, parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the heavy cream until smooth.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You're looking for the temperature to be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 5

Working with one fillet at a time, dip the fish into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.

Step 6

Next, dredge the fish in the almond flour mix, pressing down lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 7

Carefully place the breaded fish into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining fish fillets.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Classic Battered Fish immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
