Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces grouper fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 lettuce leaves or almond flour buns
- 8 tomato slices
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup cucumber slices
- 0.5 cup paleo mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another dish, whisk the egg with the coconut milk until well combined.
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels, then dip each fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat each fillet with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the paleo mayo by mixing the paleo mayonnaise with the lemon juice. Set aside.
To assemble the sandwiches, start by placing a lettuce leaf or half an almond flour bun on a plate. Spread a tablespoon of the lemon mayo on it.
Place a crispy grouper fillet on top, followed by a couple of tomato slices, avocado slices, and cucumber slices.
Top with another lettuce leaf or bun half and serve immediately.
