Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor, pulse the almonds until they are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a coarse meal, not almond butter.
In a shallow dish, mix the almond meal, gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the sole fillets dry with a paper towel.
Dip each fillet first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then coat the fillets with the almond mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure adherence.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they are golden brown.
Transfer the golden fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sole is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of each fillet before serving.
Serve with your choice of gluten-free sides and enjoy!
