fishandchips

If you cannot find almond flour, simply place slivered almonds in a food processor and pulse until fine. A crinkle-cut knife makes for fun to eat chips, however a regular knives works just as well.


Serves: 2⁠

2 fresh or frozen white fish fillets, from sustainable sources (such as Haddock or Cod)⁠
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika⁠
½ lemon, zest ⁠
sea salt⁠
freshly ground black pepper⁠
1 egg⁠
2 slices gluten-free bread (*or 1/2 cup dried gluten-free breadcrumbs)⁠
Sunflower oil⁠

Method⁠

2. On a dinner plate, place the flour with the paprika, lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.⁠
3. Beat the eggs with a fork in a small glass bowl.⁠
4. In the food processor blend the bread to fine breadcrumbs, then tip onto a plate.⁠
5. Create an assembly line for dipping: ⁠
Step 1:) plate of seasoned flour⁠
Step 2:) bowl of egg for dipping⁠
Step 3:) plate of breadcrumbs for coating ⁠
Step 4:) baking tray ⁠

**Decide if pan-frying or baking in the oven. ⁠
For pan-frying:⁠
6. Dip the fish pieces into the seasoned flour, then quickly into the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs. *You may need to wash hands between dipping pieces. ⁠
7. Next, arrange the coated fish onto a baking tray to await frying. ⁠
8. Wash 1 plate, and place near frying pan. ⁠
9. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden, crispy and cooked through.⁠
10. Remove from frying pan and place onto a clean plate with a double layer of paper towel. ⁠
11. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy with tartare sauce or ketchup.⁠

For Baking:⁠
Pre-heat oven to 400F/200C. ⁠
The baking time depends on the thickness of the fish. ⁠
