Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces White fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 4 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat well in the almond flour mixture. Press lightly so the coating adheres.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each fillet.
For the low-carb buns, mix coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, a pinch of salt, and the remaining water in a bowl. Shape the mixture into two bun-sized rounds. Place on a separate lined baking sheet.
Bake fish and buns in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until fish is cooked through and cheese is melted, and the buns are firm to the touch.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, and lemon juice to make the tartar sauce.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a cheesy fish fillet between two low-carb buns, spreading generously with tartar sauce.
Serve immediately, enjoying the classic taste with a low-carb twist.
