  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • If the fish filets are frozen, make sure they are fully thawed. Pat the filets dry with paper towels.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe container until fully liquid.
  • In a shallow bowl large enough to hold a filet, combine 1/3 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon Szeged fish rub (optional). Stir to mix evenly.
  • Working with one filet at a time, dip the filet into the melted butter, turning to coat both sides. Let excess butter drip back into the bowl.
  • Press the butter-coated filet into the almond mixture so the coating adheres to both sides; press gently with a fork if needed to help the mixture stick. Place the coated filet in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining filets, leaving space between them.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is firm to the touch and the coating is turning golden brown. Baking time will vary with filet thickness, so check for doneness and adjust time as needed.
  • Remove from oven and serve hot.
