Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hake fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 large Eggs
- 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
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pat the hake fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each hake fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot, but not smoking, before adding the fish.
Step 6
Place the coated hake fillets gently into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures a crispy texture.
Step 7
Cook the fillets 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
Once cooked, transfer the hake fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried hake hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
