Almond-Crusted Fish

Fish can be boring. This fish is not. Fish recipes can be fussy. This one is not. Try it tonight!

• 2 filets of cod, tilapia, or any other firm white fish you like (~6 oz. each)
• ½ c. almond meal
• ¼ c. Dijon mustard
• 1 t. smoked paprika
• 1 t. garlic powder
• 1 t. onion powder
• 1 T. coconut oil for pan-frying
• Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh chopped parsley and lemon for garnish

1. Place almond meal in a shallow dish. Add paprika, garlic & onion powder and mix together.
2. Season the fish filets generously with salt & pepper.
3. Spread mustard on both sides of the filets and then transfer to the almond mixture. Coat both sides.
4. Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Once hot, place the filets in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through. Exterior should be browned and crispy but not burnt.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or lemon.
