Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flounder fillets
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Keto-Friendly Breading:

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, oregano, and thyme.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Pat the flounder fillets dry with a paper towel. Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. Brush each fillet with the butter-garlic mixture, then press it into the almond-Parmesan mixture to coat both sides.
  6. Place the coated fillets on the baking sheet, drizzle any remaining butter-garlic mixture on top.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a golden crust, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve with a lemon wedge, if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker crust, press the breading mixture firmly onto the fish.
  • For extra flavor, try adding Italian seasoning or fresh herbs like basil.
  • Pairs well with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
