Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully covered, then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the skillet, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each fillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side and enjoy!
