Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and squeeze a bit of lime juice over them.
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten egg, making sure to coat all sides.
Press the fillets into the coconut mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Place the coconut-crusted salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the coated fillets for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the coconut crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with extra lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
