Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine coconut flour, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the flour mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated.
Next, dredge the salmon in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the salmon to adhere and covering it entirely for a crispy coating.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the salmon is cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
