Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large, beaten eggs
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 whole, cut into wedges lemon
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure the fillets are thoroughly dried for a crispy coating.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.

Step 5

Next, press each egg-coated fillet into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat all sides. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the salmon.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated salmon fillets into the hot oil, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. Depending on the thickness of your fillets, you can adjust the cooking time slightly.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Garnish the crispy fried salmon with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 10

Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy fried salmon with a side of fresh greens or roasted vegetables.
