Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 2 cups avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces if desired. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg until frothy and then add it to the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Gradually pour the sparkling water into the mixture, stirring continuously, until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip the fish pieces into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, and gently place them into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Flip the fish midway if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fish pieces from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Crispy Fish Tempura hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
