Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Crack the egg into another shallow dish and beat it lightly.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the almond flour mixture. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to both sides of the fish. Place the coated fillet onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the coating process for the remaining fish fillets.
Drizzle the tops of the coated fish fillets with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through, and the crumb coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of brightness.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
