Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 sliced Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by patting the snapper fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the seasonings evenly.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are completely blended.
Dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the dish.
Next, coat the fillet generously in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Set each coated fillet aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the fillets in the pan. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Transfer the fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
