Start by finely chopping the red onion and parsley. Set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut the cod fillets into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg and almond flour to the bowl with the cod.
Add the chopped red onion, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the fish patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on a paper towel if necessary.
Serve the fish patties warm with your choice of Whole30 compliant side, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
