Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, about 1 inch thick
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the crust adhere and crisp up.
- Brush the tops and sides of each cod fillet lightly with the melted butter.
- Press the buttered side of each fillet firmly into the Parmesan mixture until it is completely coated.
- Place the crusted fillets on the prepared baking sheet, coated side up. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown and crisp. Cooking time depends on fillet thickness.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can briefly broil the fish for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve this cod with steamed asparagus or a large green salad with avocado for a complete keto meal.
- If you prefer pan-searing, use medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is golden.
