Ingredients

• 1 pound firm white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or halibut)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 1 optional, for serving fresh lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the white fish fillets into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure that the coating sticks well.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer but doesn't smoke.

Step 5

Dip each piece of fish into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated fish bites into the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the fish bites from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the fish bites before serving.

Step 10

Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish bites.
