Ingredients
- 4 pieces perch fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups low-carb beer
- 2 cups coconut oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the perch fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly and mix in the low-carb beer until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Step 6
Dip each perch fillet into the batter, making sure it is completely coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the low carb beer battered perch immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
