Easy Keto Fish Tacos (Makes 4 Tacos)

Ingredients:

• For the Fish:
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia work well)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (finely ground)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Coconut oil or avocado oil, for frying
• For the Toppings:
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup salsa (choose your favorite keto-friendly salsa)
  • Optional toppings: Chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco cheese, lime wedges

Equipment:

• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Dredging plate or Shallow dish
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Large skillet or frying pan
• Tongs
• Serving platter

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces.
2. Make the Batter: In a dredging plate or a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten eggs.
3. Dredge & Fry the Fish: Heat coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each piece of fish in the egg mixture, then coat it evenly in the almond flour mixture. Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Arrange romaine lettuce leaves or keto taco wrap on a serving platter. Top each lettuce leaf or keto taco wrap with a piece of fried fish. Add sliced avocado, salsa, and your desired additional toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• Ensure your almond flour is finely ground for the best texture in the batter.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. Cook them in batches if necessary.
• Leftover cooked fish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
