Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of seasonings.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth and combined.

Step 3

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.

Step 4

Dip each fish fillet into the egg and cream mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, then allow any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Transfer the fish to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Flip the fish to coat both sides thoroughly.

Step 6

In a large, deep pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). It's important the oil reaches this temperature for optimal frying and crispy coating.

Step 7

Carefully place each coated fish fillet into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 8

Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fish from the oil and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the fish hot, accompanied by your choice of low-carb sides such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
