Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large, beaten eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 whole, cut into wedges lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure the fillets are thoroughly dried for a crispy coating.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside.
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Next, press each egg-coated fillet into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat all sides. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the salmon.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the coated salmon fillets into the hot oil, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. Depending on the thickness of your fillets, you can adjust the cooking time slightly.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish the crispy fried salmon with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy fried salmon with a side of fresh greens or roasted vegetables.
