Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
• 0.25 cup sugar-free ketchup
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons erythritol (or any keto-approved sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed) or coconut aminos
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix almond flour and coconut flour. In another shallow dish, whisk the egg with the almond milk.

Step 3

Dredge each fish fillet in the egg mixture, shaking off excess, then coat in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Cook the fish fillets in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add 2 additional tablespoons of oil for the second batch if needed. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, soy sauce or coconut aminos, and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

If you prefer a thicker sauce, sprinkle in xanthan gum and stir constantly until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Allow the fillets to heat through for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Keto Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet!
