Ingredients
- 1 whole Milkfish (Bangus), cleaned and deboned
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning and deboning the whole milkfish (bangus) if it is not done already. Pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to blend the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and beat them until they are well combined.
Step 4
Dip each piece of fish into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat the fish with the almond flour mixture. Ensure the fish is thoroughly coated by pressing the dry mixture onto it.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully lay the coated fish pieces into the pan.
Step 6
Fry the fish for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the milkfish from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the keto fried milkfish hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
