Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or halibut)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 optional, for serving fresh lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure that the coating sticks well.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer but doesn't smoke.
Dip each piece of fish into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Carefully place the coated fish bites into the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish bites from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the fish bites before serving.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish bites.
