Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Crack the egg into a separate bowl and beat it lightly with a fork.
Step 4
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated with lemon juice.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, making sure it is completely covered.
Step 6
Once coated with egg, press the fish fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 7
Heat olive oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 8
Place the coated fish fillets into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the fish from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon slices, if desired.
