Keto Fried Catfish Recipe

Keto Fried Catfish Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound (455 g) catfish fillets
• 1/4 cup (30 g) finely ground almonds
• 1/4 cup (30 g) finely ground hazelnuts
• 2 tablespoons (16 g) rice protein powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
• oil for frying (peanut, canola, or sunflower).
• lemon wedges.

Method

1. On a plate, combine the almonds, hazelnuts, protein powder, and seasoned salt, stirring well
2. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with the water
3. Wash and dry the catfish fillets
4. Dip each one in the egg and then in the nut mixture, pressing it well into the fish
5. If you have a deep fryer, by all means use it to fry your fish until its a deep gold color (7 to 10 minutes)
6. If you don’t, use a large, heavy skillet
7. Pour 1 inch 2 cm of oil into the skillet and put it over medium-high heat
8. Let it heat for at least 5 minutes; you don’t want to put your fish in until the oil is up to temperature
9. To test the oil, carefully put in one drop-no more-of water
10. It should sizzle, but not make the oil spit
11. If the oil spits, its too hot
12. Turn the heat down and wait for it to cool a bit
13. When the oil is hot, put in your fish and fry it until its a deep gold in color
14. If the oil doesn’t completely cover the fish, you’ll have to carefully turn it after about 5 minutes
15. Figure 7 to 10 minutes total frying time
16. Serve with lemon wedges
