This Fried Catfish recipe is a delightful and crispy treat that captures the essence of Southern cuisine. Coated in a seasoned almond flour batter, it's a perfect Paleo-friendly lunch option that pairs well with a side of fresh greens.

Ingredients

• Catfish fillets - 400 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut flour - 50 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Eggs - 2 large
• Coconut oil - 200 ml (for frying)

Steps

1. Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
4. Dip each catfish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
5. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
6. Carefully add the coated catfish fillets to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fried catfish from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
