Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the fish by patting the fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkling both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons of salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until frothy to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, making sure to coat both sides, then immediately dredge the fish in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully add the fish fillets to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 7
Once done, transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the fried fish hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Step 9
Enjoy your Whole30 Classic Fried White Fish as a nutritious, tasty meal that complements a variety of side dishes!
