Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 Teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 Teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 optional Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Dredge each fish fillet in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture. Gently press the flour onto the fish to ensure an even coating on all sides.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry each fillet for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and easily flake with a fork.
Step 8
Transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Classic Fried White Fish warm, with optional lemon wedges on the side for an added touch of brightness and flavor.
