Ingredients
- 4 fillets fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season the fish fillets evenly on both sides with the spice mixture.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, place the almond flour. In another shallow dish, beat the egg with the heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each seasoned fish fillet first in the almond flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and again into the almond flour, ensuring even coating.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the coated fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the fish fillets from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish the fish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
