Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets with paper towels until completely dry and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture.
Step 5
Gently press the fish into the almond flour mixture, ensuring each side is well coated. Shake off any excess.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive or avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully add the fish fillets to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges on the side.
