Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, remaining salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Ensure each fillet is thoroughly coated.
Heat coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
