Ingredients

• 4 pieces hake fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large egg
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Pat the hake fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the breading mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth to form the egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each hake fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 5

Dredge the egg-washed fillet into the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the breading onto the fish. Repeat for all fillets.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 7

Carefully place the breaded fillets into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the crispy fried hake fillets hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
