Begin by preparing your fish fillets. Ensure they are thawed (if previously frozen) and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir together well to make a uniform breading mixture.
In another shallow bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly to create an egg wash.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the breading to both sides of the fish.
Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy breaded fish with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
