Crispy Grainless Halibut Fillet

One aspect of being healthy that I enjoy is that there are always ways to push yourself. This week I wanted to cut out grains through the weekend. This meant no pasta, bread, granola, rice, or beloved beer through Friday.  As a way of reducing grains in my overall diet, I decided to look up some recipes that do not require grains (or a ton a work) so I can incorporate them into my diet beyond this week. In my search I stumbled upon a grainless 'crispy' halibut fillet recipe and wanted to share it.

Crispy Grainless Halibut Fillet

::Ingredients::

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 cups coconut flour

• zest of 2 fresh lemons

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 sea teaspoon salt

• 4 (5-ounce) halibut fillets (about 3/4 inch thick)

• 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided

• 2 Tbsp coconut oil, divided

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

::Directions::

1. Whisk eggs in a shallow dish; stir well. 
2. Combine coconut flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, and sea salt in another shallow dish.
3. Pat fish fillets very well with paper towels to remove any moisture. Dip fillets in egg, and dredge fillets in flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
4. Heat 1/2 oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add 2 fillets; cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Repeat with remaining 1/2 oil and fillets.
6. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley.

Happy Eating!
