Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets, skinless
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure there is no excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until smooth and set aside.
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
Dip each salmon fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dip the salmon into the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating sticks to the fish.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets into the skillet.
Fry the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and drain excess oil on a paper towel if necessary.
Serve the crispy fried salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
