Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup low-carb beer
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
Start by patting dry the cod fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the dry mixture, along with the low-carb beer and olive oil.
Stir the batter until it reaches a smooth and thick consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the oil for frying in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should reach approximately 350°F (175°C) before frying.
Dip each piece of cod into the batter, ensuring an even coat all the way around each fillet.
Carefully place the battered cod fillets into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding in the skillet.
Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the cod from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low-carb beer battered cod immediately with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or sides.
