Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels to ensure they are dry.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each red snapper fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Then, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated red snapper fillets in the skillet.
Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried red snapper with lemon wedges on the side.
