Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season the fish fillets evenly on both sides with the spice mixture.
In a shallow dish, place the almond flour. In another shallow dish, beat the egg with the heavy cream until well combined.
Dip each seasoned fish fillet first in the almond flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and again into the almond flour, ensuring even coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the coated fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Remove the fish fillets from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
Garnish the fish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
