Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or any firm white fish)
- 120 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 60 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 60 ml olive oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces, ensuring each piece is of a uniform size for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
Dip each piece of fish into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Then dredge each fish piece in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a nice coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry the fish pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove fish and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried fish pieces warm with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
