Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Perch fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 whole Fresh lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Pat dry the perch fillets with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each perch fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Next, dredge the egg-coated perch fillet in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on all sides. Repeat for all fillets.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/4 inch depth.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fillets into the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until the fillets are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spatula to remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried perch fillets hot, with fresh lemon wedges and garnished with chopped parsley.
