Begin by preparing the fish. Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely minced.
Transfer the minced cod into a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the green onions, red bell pepper, and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the minced fish.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix well to combine all ingredients.
Add the almond flour and coconut flour to the mixture, along with the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture forms a sticky consistency.
Zest the lemon into the bowl and then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into the fish mixture. Mix again to combine.
Shape the mixture into approximately 8 patties, each about ½ inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fish patties into the skillet, being careful not to crowd them (you may need to cook in batches).
Cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm, with the remaining lemon half sliced wedges on the side. Enjoy your Whole30 Crispy Fish Patties!
