Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each tilapia fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
Dredge the fillets in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the fish.
Place the coated fillets in the preheated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove from skillet and allow to drain on paper towels if needed.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
