Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Capers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 4 pieces Large lettuce leaves (such as iceberg or romaine)
- 2 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat in the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the fish to ensure an even coating.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the coconut oil.
Carefully add the coated fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the tartar sauce by combining the mayonnaise, dill pickle, lemon juice, capers, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.
Once the fish is cooked, remove from skillet and place each filet on a lettuce leaf.
Top each piece of fish with a generous dollop of the homemade tartar sauce.
Fold the lettuce leaves over the fish to create a wrap.
Serve your Whole30 Filet-O-Fish with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.
