Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Perch fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Oat milk
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil
- 1 optional for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the perch fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites and oat milk until fully blended.
Dip each perch fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to help the coating adhere to the fish.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried perch fillets immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
