Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure the coating adheres properly.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off.
Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of the almond flour mixture into the skillet. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the skillet, in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, with a flaky texture.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried fish fillets hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
