Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Olive oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until fully combined.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then press it into the almond flour mixture, coating both sides. Repeat this process for all fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Pescado Empanizado immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
