Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg together with the heavy cream to make an egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and dip each fillet first into the egg wash, then dredge through the coconut mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the mixture adheres to the fillets.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, crust-side up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Serve the coconut crusted salmon immediately, garnished with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
