Recipe: Keto Crusted Parmesan Fish

Ingredients:

For the Fish:

4 white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
Cooking oil for frying (choose keto-friendly options like avocado oil or coconut oil)

For Serving:

Lemon wedges
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish Fillets:

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.

2. Create the Crust Mixture:

In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, finely chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a bit more salt and pepper. Mix well to create the crust mixture.

3. Coat the Fish:

Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the fish fillets in the crust mixture, pressing it onto the fish to ensure it adheres well. Repeat this step for a thicker crust if desired.

4. Fry the Fish:

In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Place the fried fish on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
