Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully covered, then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the skillet, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook each fillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side and enjoy!
