Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup olive oil (or avocado oil) for frying
- 1 whole lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, crushed pork rinds, parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the heavy cream until smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You're looking for the temperature to be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Working with one fillet at a time, dip the fish into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.
Next, dredge the fish in the almond flour mix, pressing down lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Carefully place the breaded fish into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining fish fillets.
Serve the Keto Classic Battered Fish immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
