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.
