Ingredients
- 4 pieces grouper fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the grouper fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well-blended.
Step 4
Dip each grouper fillet first into the egg, ensuring it is evenly coated, and then into the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the surface of the fillets to adhere well. Set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, carefully add the coated grouper fillets. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Cook each fillet for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the grouper is fully cooked, and the coating is crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the keto crispy fried grouper with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
