Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 optional lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 2
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy coating.
Step 4
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Step 5
Next, press the egg-coated salmon fillets into the almond flour mixture. Gently press down to ensure the coating sticks, covering the fillet completely on all sides.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated salmon fillets to the skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried salmon immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets, if desired.
