Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the white fish fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until fully combined.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Transfer the fish fillet to the almond flour mixture. Coat each side thoroughly, pressing down gently to ensure the mixture adheres to the fish.
Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, adding more oil as needed.
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
