Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil for frying (or a combination)
- 1 optional Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Dip each fish fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the almond flour mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low carb breaded fried fish hot with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
