Ingredients
- 4 large pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 optional for serving lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the egg with the heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they are not too moist.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly to make sure the coating adheres well to the fish.
Step 6
Once all the fillets are coated, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the coated fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Spray the tops of the coated fish fillets with a little more olive oil for extra crispiness.
Step 9
Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Flip the fish halfway through the cooking time.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately, optionally with lemon wedges for an added zest.
