Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets with paper towels until completely dry and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until smooth.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture.
Gently press the fish into the almond flour mixture, ensuring each side is well coated. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive or avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the fish fillets to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges on the side.
