Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Grouper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep fillets warm after frying.
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they are free from excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Place the coconut flour in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each grouper fillet first in the coconut flour and shake off the excess.
Dip the fillet into the beaten eggs, making sure it's completely coated.
Press the fillet into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Set it aside on a plate.
Repeat the dredging, dipping, and coating process with all fillets.
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently place two fillets into the skillet. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then place them in the preheated oven to keep warm.
Fry the remaining fillets, adding more oil as needed.
Serve the crispy fried grouper immediately with your choice of low-carb sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
