Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until well blended.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, place the egg-coated fillet into the almond flour mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the herb crust adheres evenly on all sides.
Place the crusted fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil cooking spray for an extra crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Serve the herb-crusted fish fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
