Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
• 0 as needed olive oil spray or avocado oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures the coating adheres well and becomes crispy.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Next, dredge the egg-coated fish in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the mixture adheres to the fillet. Shake off any excess.

Step 7

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the coated fish fillets in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch or overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 9

Spray the tops of the fish with additional olive oil or avocado oil spray for added crispiness.

Step 10

Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The fish should be golden brown and have an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Carefully remove the crispy fish from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
