Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix all ingredients for the tartar sauce. Place in the fridge while making the rest of the dish.
- Peel the rutabaga and cut it into thin chips. You can also use a mandolin slicer. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix. Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chips, until golden brown.
- While the rutabaga is cooking, prepare the fish by cutting into pieces, approximately 2" x 1" (5 cm x 2.5 cm),
- Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk with a fork until yolks are broken, and eggs are combined and frothy.
- On a plate, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- First, coat the fish pieces with the almond flour mix, then dip in the beaten eggs, and then cover again with the almond flour mix.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the fish for 3 minutes on each side or until the breading is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
- Serve with the baked rutabaga fries and tartar sauce.
Tip
Instead of rutabaga fries you can serve our onion rings or parmesan-roasted green beans. If you're not a fan of tartar sauce you might want to check out our chili aioli or tzatziki, they both work really great with fried fish.
Experimenting with gram flour (ground chick pea flour), its lower carb than plain flour and fries really well.
Thank you so much 😊
We have not tested this recipe in an air fryer. Also, we want the higher fat as keto is low carb, high fat.
Fish cooked perfectly. I used sunflower oil, and cooked the fish in batches for 3 minutes, then out them in a hot oven whilst I cooked the rest.
Per your tip, I served the bite size breaded fish with onion rings rather than the chips. And some homemade lemon mayo.
Thanks for another tasty recipe.
I have now made this 4 times and every time there is extra batter and also every time i need more than 1 egg for dipping..
Maybe the cup-gram conversion is not correct?
