  • Almond flour - 50 grams
  • Coconut flour - 20 grams
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces if desired.

  3. In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
  4. Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
  5. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
