Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces perch fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups low-carb beer
- 2 cups coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Pat dry the perch fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly and mix in the low-carb beer until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the coconut oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Dip each perch fillet into the batter, making sure it is completely coated.
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low carb beer battered perch immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
