Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100g
• Eggs - 1 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• White fish fillets (e.g. cod or haddock) - 200g
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to form a dough.
3. Knead the dough on a clean surface until smooth, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute.
5. Add the fish fillets to the pan, season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, mixing well.
7. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.
8. Place a spoonful of the fish mixture in the center of each circle, fold over to create a half-moon shape, and seal the edges using a fork.
9. Arrange the briouates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with a beaten egg for a golden finish, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
