Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces large iceberg lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and the egg until well combined.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and dip each one in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat each fish fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the fish fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and flake easily.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the tartar sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickle, capers, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
To assemble, place each filet on a large lettuce leaf. Spoon a tablespoon of tartar sauce over each filet.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb Filet-O-Fish!
