Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly.
Step 4
Dip each fillet first in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides evenly.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated snapper fillets in the pan, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry each fillet for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried snapper fillets with lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
