Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cod fillets
- 60 grams almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the cod fillets under cold running water and then patting them dry with a paper towel. Cut the cod into small chunks and place in a bowl.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the cod chunks and pulse until finely chopped, but not fully pureed.
Step 3
Transfer the chopped cod into a large mixing bowl. Add almond flour, beaten eggs, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cod patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the cod fritters immediately, garnished with extra parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
