Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 lemon wedges for serving
Directions
Step 1
Cut the white fish fillets into small pieces, about 2 inches in size.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each fish piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated fish piece to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough so that a small piece of fish sizzles upon contact.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated fish pieces into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
Step 8
Fry the fish pieces for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the fish pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
