Description
Make crispy, low-carb cod fillets coated in Parmesan cheese. This recipe uses almond flour for a satisfying crunch suitable for a ketogenic diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet lightly with olive oil.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Press the top side of each cod fillet firmly into the cheese mixture to create an even crust.
- Place the crusted fillets on the prepared baking sheet, crust-side up.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can finish the last minute under the broiler, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute almond flour with finely crushed pork rinds for a different texture.
- This recipe works well in an air fryer at 380°F for 10-12 minutes.
