Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off.
Step 5
Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of the almond flour mixture into the skillet. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the skillet, in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, with a flaky texture.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
