Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or salmon)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg until smooth.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the herb and almond flour mixture to evenly coat both sides.
Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the fish fillets to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the herbed crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the fish fillets rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon on the side for extra zest.
