Ingredients

• 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Sliced almonds
• 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, sliced almonds, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a separate shallow bowl and beat them lightly.

Step 4

Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Dip each swordfish steak into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the almond crust mixture, coating both sides generously. Press firmly to help the crust adhere.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the crusted swordfish steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step helps build a crispy crust.

Step 7

Transfer the seared swordfish steaks to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as swordfish can become dry.

Step 9

Remove the swordfish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
