✅Directions

1. Lay 2 layers of paper towels on a baking sheet and set aside.

2. Mix the Parmesan, almond flour and flaxseed meal in a medium bowl.

3. Next make your fish seasoning by combining the smoked paprika, salt, garlic, onion, peppers, coriander, oregano and basil in a small mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon to the breading mixture and store the remaining seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

4. Slice fish into 1 ½” pieces. Dip the fish slices into the beaten egg, shaking off any excess liquid. Then roll the fish in the Parmesan mixture, gently shaking off any excess. I recommend using one hand to dip the fish in the egg mixture and keeping the other dry to roll the fish in the breading mix. This way you keep more breading on the fish instead of your fingers!

5. Heat your fat of choice in a deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You’ll want enough fat in your skillet to submerge 1/3 to 1/2 of the fish pieces.

6. Once the oil is hot, begin cooking similar sized slices of fish, careful not to over crowd; cook for 4-6 minutes, turning the fish about half way through. When done, move the fish to the paper towel lined baking sheet to remove excess oil before adding in the next batch of fish.
