Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or salmon)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg until smooth.
Step 4
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the herb and almond flour mixture to evenly coat both sides.
Step 6
Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the fish fillets to help with browning.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the herbed crust is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the fish fillets rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon on the side for extra zest.
