Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the Red Snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 4
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on both sides of the fish.
Step 6
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully place the coated fillets into the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 8
Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried Red Snapper immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
