Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut flakes, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix this well to create the crust mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks better.

Place the crusted salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of each salmon fillet for added crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the coconut crust turns golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the salmon cool slightly.

Step 11

Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful coconut crusted salmon!
