Ingredients
- 1 pound cod fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cod fillets into 1-inch-wide strips, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each fish strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat evenly with the almond flour mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Step 5
Place the coated fish strips on a plate and let them sit for a few minutes to set the coating.
Step 6
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Test by adding a small piece of the coating to ensure it sizzles.
Step 7
Fry the fish sticks in batches, avoiding overcrowding to maintain oil temperature, for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once done, transfer the fish sticks to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fish sticks hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
