Hey keto fam! If you’re missing that crispy fried fish but wanna stay low-carb, this Keto Fried Fish is here to save the day.
It’s crunchy, flavorful, and totally guilt-free. Let’s fry it up!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make the magic happen
Here’s the simple stuff you’ll need:
- 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or whatever you like)
- 1 cup almond flour (for that crispy coating)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adds a salty, cheesy vibe)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs (for dipping)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or olive oil for frying)
How to Make Keto Fried Fish
Prep the coating: In one bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
Coat the fish: Dip each fish fillet in the egg, then press it into the almond flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
Heat the oil: Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. You want it hot but not smoking.
Fry the fish: Place the fish in the pan (don’t crowd it!) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Place the fish on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges or keto-friendly tartar sauce.
Pro Tips
- Don’t skip the Parmesan—it’s the crispy MVP!
- Want extra crunch? Double-coat the fish: dip in egg, then flour mix, repeat.
- Keep the oil hot! It keeps the fish crispy and not greasy.
