Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 0.25 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or any keto-approved sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed) or coconut aminos
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour and coconut flour. In another shallow dish, whisk the egg with the almond milk.
Dredge each fish fillet in the egg mixture, shaking off excess, then coat in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Cook the fish fillets in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add 2 additional tablespoons of oil for the second batch if needed. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, soy sauce or coconut aminos, and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, sprinkle in xanthan gum and stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Allow the fillets to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Keto Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet!
