Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g. cod or tilapia)
- 120 grams almond flour
- 60 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs
- 30 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 ml olive oil (or avocado oil for frying)
Instructions
Slice the white fish fillets into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until frothy.
Place coconut flour in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each fish strip first in coconut flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish strip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Finally, press the fish strip into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining fish strips.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding fish to achieve crispiness.
Carefully place fish sticks in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each stick for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked fish sticks from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve the fish sticks hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
