Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 whole lemon, sliced for serving
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to help brown the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately with lemon slices on the side for squeezing over the fish.
