Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g white fish fillets
- 100 g almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 100 ml coconut oil
- 1 lemon lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by cutting the white fish fillets into small pieces. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely minced.
Transfer the minced fish into a mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and a slightly sticky consistency is achieved.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 16-20 fish balls.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat up until shimmering.
Carefully place the fish balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Cook the fish balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them and drain on paper towels.
Serve the fish balls hot with lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, you can serve them with a low carb dipping sauce of your choice.
