Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the sparkling water to create a batter.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring that it is fully coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo classic battered fish hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
