- ½ cup almond flour
- 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon old bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- Sunflower Oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the cod fillet into 2 inch long pieces, about 1 to 1-½ inch thick.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, stir together ½ cup almond flour, ½ cup dry grated parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning (if using), ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper.
- Pour oil in a deep skillet until it is about 1-½ to 2 inches deep. Turn heat on medium-high to preheat.

- Remove fried fish sticks from hot oil and place on paper towel lined plate to drain.
