Ingredients
- 8 ounces Fish skin (salmon or cod preferred)
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Start by carefully rinsing the fish skin under cold water to remove any excess scales and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut the fish skin into strips roughly 1 inch by 3 inches.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 4
Dredge each piece of fish skin in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few pieces of the coated fish skin at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the fish skin for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using tongs, transfer the fried fish skin to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish skins.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried fish skin immediately, either on its own or as a delicious garnish to salads and other dishes.
