Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a shallow dish whisk the egg until smooth.
Step 3
In a second shallow dish combine the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan if using.
Step 4
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet first into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the almond‑flour mixture, pressing gently to coat.
Step 5
Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the coated fillets in the pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the seared fillets to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8‑10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, then serve immediately.
