Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch wide and about 4-inch long strips, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
Step 2
Prepare the dredging station. In one shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
Step 5
While the oil is heating, take each fish strip and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Roll the egg-coated fish stick in the almond-coconut flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish sticks into the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Fry the fish sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the coating and frying process for any remaining fish sticks.
Step 11
Serve hot, with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce, and enjoy!
