Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillet (cod or haddock)
• 40 grams Arrowroot powder
• 20 grams Coconut flour
• 250 ml Almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the white fish fillet into cubes roughly the size of tofu pieces you desire, about 1-inch squares.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the arrowroot powder, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs with the almond milk until smooth.

Step 5

Dip each fish cube into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it evenly in the flour mixture. Press the coating lightly onto the fish to ensure it sticks well.

Step 6

Place the coated fish cubes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish.

Step 8

While the fish is baking, combine the fresh lemon juice and chopped dill in a small bowl.

Step 9

Once the fish tofu is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle with the lemon-dill mixture for a flavorful finish.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides such as sautéed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
