Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup pickle juice or water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with pickle juice or water until fully blended.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets into the skillet. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
