Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each fillet first in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides evenly.
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated snapper fillets in the pan, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each fillet for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried snapper fillets with lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
