Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, chopped parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet lightly with olive oil.
Dredge each fillet in the herb-almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks to the fish.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the top of the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the top is golden brown. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve the herb-crusted fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
