Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, remaining salt, and pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
Step 4
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Ensure each fillet is thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 6
Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
