Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the white fish fillets with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until fully combined.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated.
Next, press the fish fillet into the almond flour mixture, again making sure both sides are coated. Press down slightly to adhere the coating.
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the skillet.
Cook each fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the skillet and let it drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
