Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 pieces large iceberg lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and the egg until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and dip each one in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 5

Coat each fish fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the fish fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and flake easily.

Step 8

While the fish is cooking, prepare the tartar sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickle, capers, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Step 9

Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

To assemble, place each filet on a large lettuce leaf. Spoon a tablespoon of tartar sauce over each filet.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb Filet-O-Fish!
