Ingredients
  • 4 pieces of Cod
  • juice of a lemon
  • ¼ c. coconut flour
  • ½ tsp. pink Himalayane sea salt
  • 3 tbsp onion flakes
  • 3 tbsp. coconut oil
  • extra oil for pan
Instructions
  1. Soak fish in lemon juice flipping it on each side.
  2. In a large frying pan heat 3 tbsp coconut oil on medium.
  3. In a bowl blend coconut flour, salt and onion flakes.
  4. Place piece of fish in flour mixture and press mixture into each side.
  5. When you see arcs on the side of pan or the oil sizzles place coated fish pieces in.
  6. Let each piece cook and brown for a few minutes each side.
  7. Try not to peek as moving fish will make coating fall off if it is not ready.
  8. When fish seems firm and edges are nicely brown flip each piece gently.
Notes
You can use any white fish but this recipe works best with thinner fillets. The onion flakes are key to this recipe. If you can not find Simply Organic brand onion flakes you can use another brand as long as it is just onion flakes and not a bunch of icky preservatives. Another "citrus" twist on this fish is using the juice of an orange instead of lemon. If you are doing the Free Diet you will need to use lemon verses the orange {for the first phase}. You certainly can add any other spices you like. We have used cayenne, orange flakes, and paprika. Also, I have made my Creamy Chive & Garlic Dressing to dip this fish in for that extra gourmet touch {link is in post}. It is not necessary to make dressing but super simple and oh so good! Please use wild caught fish and organic ingredients when you can.
