Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hake fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 large Eggs
- 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
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the hake fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Dip each hake fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot, but not smoking, before adding the fish.
Place the coated hake fillets gently into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures a crispy texture.
Cook the fillets for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the hake fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried hake hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
