Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Coconut flour - 30 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Oil for frying - 200 ml (preferably coconut or avocado oil)

Steps

1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into serving-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg and add lemon juice to it.
4. Dip each piece of fish into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6. Carefully add the coated fish pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
7. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Once cooked, transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
