Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 can (12 oz) Low-carb beer
- 2 cups (for frying) Avocado oil
Instructions
Prepare the cod fillets by patting them dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and then pour in the low-carb beer. Gently whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.
Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully lay it into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sauce or a wedge of lemon.
