Low-Carb Herb And Parmesan Crusted Fish With Lime Aioli

Crumbed, crispy fish is a family favorite in many households because it gets everyone eating fish, is quick to make and tastes great. Get a beautiful, crispy coating on your fish every time.

I used to crumb fish separately for my kids with breadcrumbs and flour, while my husband and I would have a low-carb version. No longer!

I have been playing around with this recipe to come up with something that everyone likes. After much trial and error, I am pleased to bring you this crowd-pleaser: Herb And Parmesan Crusted Fish With Lime Aioli.

If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can crumb the fish and keep it in the fridge for several hours before cooking. This can help the crumb mixture stick to the fish. Look at the beautiful crispy coating on that fish!

Instructions

1. First, make the Lime Aioli as it will give the flavors some time to develop.
   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest and garlic. Cover and place in the fridge.

2. To make the herb crust, mix together the almond meal, Parmesan, parsley, lime zest, salt & pepper in a bowl. 

3. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a fork.
4. Dip each piece of fish into the egg to coat, then place into the almond/herb mixture and roll the fish around to coat on all sides.

5. Place all the crumbed fish on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 8-10 minutes. 

6. While the fish is in the fridge, feel free to make a quick salad with your favorite greens and salad vegetables.
7. Place a fry-pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, pan-fry the fish for 3 minutes and then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. The fish should flake apart easily and have developed a lovely golden crust.

8. Serve with the Lime Aioli, lemon wedges and a salad.
