Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick paste forms.
- Spoon the butter-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet, pressing gently to create a crust.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the crust mixture.
- If you prefer a crispier top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Almond flour keeps this crust low in carbohydrates.
