Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, lime zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
Press the egg-coated salmon into the coconut mixture, making sure to cover all sides with the coconut mixture.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
Step 7
Add the coated salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coconut crust is golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with extra lime zest or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
