Ingredients
- 500 g white fish fillets
- 100 g almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 100 ml coconut oil
- 1 lemon lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the white fish fillets into small pieces. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely minced.
Step 2
Transfer the minced fish into a mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and a slightly sticky consistency is achieved.
Step 4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 16-20 fish balls.
Step 5
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat up until shimmering.
Step 6
Carefully place the fish balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the fish balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them and drain on paper towels.
Step 8
Serve the fish balls hot with lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, you can serve them with a low carb dipping sauce of your choice.
