Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish filets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the fish filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the water until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge each fish filet in the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, and then coat with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Carefully place the coated fish filets into the hot oil in the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the filets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked filets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
