Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup pickle juice or water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with pickle juice or water until fully blended.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each fish fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets into the skillet. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
