Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then, press the fillet into the almond flour mixture, ensuring that each side is evenly coated. Repeat for all fillets.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges and enjoy!
