Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1.5 cups sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres well.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and tapioca flour.
Step 3
Add the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the flour mixture, mixing until well combined.
Step 4
Pour in the sparkling water gradually while whisking to achieve a smooth batter consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. You may need to adjust the amount of oil to maintain a 1/4 inch depth for frying.
Step 6
Dip each cod fillet completely in the batter, allowing excess to drip off slightly.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the fish from the oil and transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
