Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 pastured egg, whisked
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- 4 white fish fillets, skinless and deboned (approx. 4.5 oz each)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Have three wide-bottomed bowls ready. Place the coconut flour in the first, the whisked eggs in the second, and the coconut flakes in the third.
- Place a fish fillet into the coconut flour dusting both sides. Tap lightly to remove excess flour. Dip briefly in the egg and allow excess egg to run off. Finally, press into the desiccated coconut so it adheres to both sides. Set aside until all 4 fillets are prepared.
- Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large, non-stick pan and fry two fillets over moderate heat for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Set aside to keep warm while you wipe the pan clean, heat the second tablespoon olive oil and repeat with the remaining two fillets.
- Season the gluten-free breaded fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper and a generous squeeze of lime. Serve with your favorite salad or side vegetable.
