Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia, cod)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Then coat the fish thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the fish.

Step 7

Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over each fillet to help achieve a crispy texture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque in the center and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish if desired.
