Ingredients
- 4 pieces Perch fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat the perch fillets dry with paper towels. This will help the coating stick better.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Set aside.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Dip each perch fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Then, press the fillet into the almond flour mixture, covering it completely. Press lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat this process for all fillets.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated fillets to the pan. Fry in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried perch fillets hot, with your choice of low-carb side dish or a fresh salad.
