Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 sliced Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the snapper fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the seasonings evenly.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are completely blended.
Step 4
Dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the dish.
Step 5
Next, coat the fillet generously in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Set each coated fillet aside on a plate.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully place the fillets in the pan. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Transfer the fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
