Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 20 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 haddock fillets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together almond flour, parsley, dill, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush each haddock fillet with olive oil, then coat with the herb mixture on both sides.
4. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is crispy.
5. Serve hot and enjoy!

Why It Works

• The combination of almond flour and herbs creates a crispy, flavorful crust that perfectly complements the delicate flavor of the haddock.
• Brushing the fillets with olive oil helps to keep them moist and prevents them from sticking to the baking sheet.
• Baking the fillets at a high temperature ensures that the crust becomes crispy and the fish cooks through evenly.
