Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 250 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine) - 100 grams
• Cherry tomatoes, halved - 100 grams
• Cucumber, diced - 100 grams
• Red bell pepper, sliced - 50 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
4. Dip each fish fillet first in the egg, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
6. Transfer the fish to a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until cooked through.
7. While the fish is baking, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper in a large bowl.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
9. Toss the salad with the dressing and plate it alongside the crispy fish fillets.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
