Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine coconut flour, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the flour mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Next, dredge the salmon in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the salmon to adhere and covering it entirely for a crispy coating.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the salmon is cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
