Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set them aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the sparkling water to create a batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring that it is fully coated.
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo classic battered fish hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
