Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup ground almonds
- 2 large egg
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, ground almonds, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated fish fillet to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the fish, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Add the fish fillets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each side of the fillets for about 2-3 minutes, just until the coating is golden brown. Be careful not to overcook.
Transfer the browned fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the crispy fish immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
