Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cod fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Cut the cod into small chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix until well incorporated.
Add the cod chunks, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until the fish is well coated with the flour mixture and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Using a spoon or clean hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cod mixture to form small fritters. Flatten them slightly to ensure even cooking.
Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil, allowing enough space between each fritter. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Keto Cod Fritters warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy as a tasty appetizer or pair with a fresh, low-carb salad for a light meal.
