Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish filets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the water until well combined.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Dredge each fish filet in the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, and then coat with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated fish filets into the hot oil in the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry the filets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the cooked filets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
