Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup almonds, finely chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 optional, for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl or dish, mix together the almond flour, finely chopped almonds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.

Step 4

Dip each sole fillet in the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 5

Then dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to ensure the crust adheres well. Repeat for all fillets.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the crusted sole fillets to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the browned fillets to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Serve the almond-crusted sole hot with optional lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal!
