Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cod fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cod fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, finely chop the cod and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the fresh parsley. Add them to the bowl with the cod.
Next, add the almond flour and coconut flour to the bowl. This combination maintains a gluten-free integrity while providing structure to the fritters.
Add the eggs, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Use a fork or your hands to mix everything until well combined. The mixture should hold together when shaped into a ball.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You'll want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan to allow the fritters to fry evenly.
Scoop about two tablespoons of the cod mixture and form it into a small patty or ball with your hands.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place each fritter into the skillet. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing burst of flavor.
