Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you sprinkle a little almond flour in it.
Dip each snapper fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the fillets to ensure it adheres well.
Place the coated fillets in the hot oil, skin side down if your fillets have skin, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried snapper fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
