Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (cod or tilapia)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the white fish fillets into roughly 1-inch wide strips, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk. Set aside.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Dip each fish stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Roll the fish stick in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it is evenly coated all around. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Repeat the process for all fish sticks.

Step 8

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Fry the breaded fish sticks in batches for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Transfer the browned fish sticks to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake the fish sticks in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 12

Remove from oven and let the fish sticks rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
