Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the Red Snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on both sides of the fish.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully place the coated fillets into the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried Red Snapper immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
