Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or similar)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 whole Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour and tapioca starch together.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then combine with the coconut milk.
Step 4
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You may use a thermometer to accurately gauge the temperature or test with a small piece of bread—if it sizzles and browns, the oil is ready.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.
Step 7
Carefully add the coated fish fillets to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness and flavor.
