Ingredients
- White fish fillets
- Almond flour
- Eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
- Tortillas (paleo-friendly)
- Cabbage (shredded)
- Lime wedges
- Avocado (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the fish by patting the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Create the paleo-friendly batter by whisking eggs in a shallow bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, spread almond flour and season with additional salt and pepper for coating.
- Dip each fish fillet first into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully coat the egg-dipped fish in the seasoned almond flour, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of cooking oil suitable for paleo diet (coconut or avocado oil).
- Carefully place the battered fish fillets in the hot skillet, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove fish from skillet and let rest on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Warm the paleo-friendly tortillas briefly in a separate pan or directly on a gas flame.
- Slice the cooked fish into strips suitable for taco filling.
- Assemble tacos by placing fish strips on tortillas, topping with shredded cabbage and sliced avocado.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over tacos.
Tips
- Pat the fish fillets completely dry before battering to ensure a crisp, golden coating that won't become soggy.
- Use fresh, high-quality white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose a neutral, high-heat oil like avocado or coconut oil for frying to maintain paleo diet standards.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking fish to maintain proper heat and achieve even browning.
- Let the fish rest on paper towels after frying to absorb excess oil and keep the coating crispy.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to enhance their texture and prevent cracking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro before serving.
- Prep all ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
