Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 4 White Fish Fillets thawed (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 0.25 cup Melted Butter
- 0.33 cup Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Szeged Fish Rub optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a non-stick surface and easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and Szeged fish rub (if using). Stir until well mixed and set aside.
- Place the thawed fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each fish fillet with the melted butter to help the crust adhere and brown.
- Spoon the almond and Parmesan mixture over each fillet, pressing gently to ensure it sticks evenly.
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate fish fillets in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before preparing.
- Try different fish varieties like salmon for a tasty twist.
- Add cayenne pepper to the crust mixture for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
