Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Perch fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Pat the perch fillets dry with paper towels. This will help the coating stick better.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Dip each perch fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Then, press the fillet into the almond flour mixture, covering it completely. Press lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat this process for all fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated fillets to the pan. Fry in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried perch fillets hot, with your choice of low-carb side dish or a fresh salad.
