Prepare flaky cod fillets coated in a rich, low-carb crust made from butter and Parmesan cheese. This recipe is quick and fits a ketogenic diet.

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. 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.
  4. Spoon the butter-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet, pressing gently to create a crust.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
  6. 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.
