Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish filets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even seasoning.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each fish filet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the fish.
Step 5
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before placing the fish to achieve a crispy crust.
Step 6
Carefully lay the coated fish filets in the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Thicker filets may require a bit more time.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the filets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
