Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 optional lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy coating.
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Next, press the egg-coated salmon fillets into the almond flour mixture. Gently press down to ensure the coating sticks, covering the fillet completely on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated salmon fillets to the skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried salmon immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets, if desired.
