Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hake fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the hake fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the breading mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth to form the egg wash.
Dip each hake fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated.
Dredge the egg-washed fillet into the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the breading onto the fish. Repeat for all fillets.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded fillets into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried hake fillets hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
