Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cod fillets
- 60 grams almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the cod fillets under cold running water and then patting them dry with a paper towel. Cut the cod into small chunks and place in a bowl.
In a food processor, add the cod chunks and pulse until finely chopped, but not fully pureed.
Transfer the chopped cod into a large mixing bowl. Add almond flour, beaten eggs, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cod patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cod fritters immediately, garnished with extra parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
