Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch wide and about 4-inch long strips, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
Prepare the dredging station. In one shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
While the oil is heating, take each fish strip and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the egg-coated fish stick in the almond-coconut flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish sticks into the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the fish sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the coating and frying process for any remaining fish sticks.
Serve hot, with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce, and enjoy!
