– 1 large egg for coating and binding the fish

– 1/3 cup almond flour for coating and binding the fish

– 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided into 4 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons)

– 1/8 cup lemon juice to add tang and depth to the dish

Instructions

1-How to Prepare the Perfect Almond Crusted Fish Piccata: Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Almond Crusted Fish Piccata is straightforward and rewarding, with steps that build on each other for the best results. Start by heating 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, which sets the stage for a crispy crust. Meanwhile, boil water in a separate pot and cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to package instructions for a perfect al dente finish.

2-: Whisk the egg white until smooth in a bowl, then in another bowl, sift together the almond flour and dried parsley to create the coating mixture. Dip each cod fillet in the egg white, ensuring full coverage, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture before placing them in the hot skillet. Cook the fillets for 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown, then transfer them to a plate to rest.

3-: Next, add the white wine and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits for extra flavor. Stir in the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, letting it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Finally, toss the cooked spaghetti and the cod back into the skillet, coating everything evenly with the sauce before serving immediately, garnished with extra parsley and optional grated parmesan.
