Ingredients

  • 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil for frying (or a combination)
  • 1 optional Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Step 5

Dip each fish fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the almond flour mixture, coating evenly on both sides.

Step 6

Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

Step 7

Using a slotted spatula, transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the low carb breaded fried fish hot with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
