Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the breading mixture.
In another bowl, whisk the egg together with the unsweetened heavy cream until it is well-blended.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered, allowing the excess to drip off.
Press the egg-coated fish fillet into the almond flour mixture, gently pressing down to ensure both sides are well-coated. Set aside on a plate and repeat with all fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded fish fillets to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked fillets to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. This step will ensure they are crispy and cooked evenly.
Remove the fish from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
