Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cod fillets
- 100 grams almond flour
- 2 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by cutting the fresh cod fillets into small pieces. Place them in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cod, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cod mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the patties gently into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cod fritters warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fritters.
