Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bangus (Milkfish) belly fillets
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the bangus belly fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Crack the egg into another shallow bowl and beat it lightly.
Dip each bangus belly fillet into the beaten egg, making sure it is coated evenly.
Next, dredge the egg-coated bangus belly in the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the fillets to ensure they are well covered.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated fillets in the hot oil and fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried bangus belly from the skillet and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy fried bangus belly fillets hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
