Almond & Coconut Crusted Fish Sticks Recipe by Elysia Cartlidge

REASONS WHY THESE FISH STICKS ARE AMAZING

• The almond flour incorporates some healthy fats rather than the typically refined carbohydrates (and a whole host of other not-so-healthy ingredients) that come along with packaged fish sticks
• They’re baked and not deep fried which means they make a more heart healthy option
• White fish is an amazing source of lean protein
• These fish sticks are super easy to prepare! With less than 10 ingredients, you can pretty much make this recipe by memory.
• They take less than 30 minutes to prepare! Told ya they’re easy!

WHAT TYPE OF FISH SHOULD I USE FOR THESE FISH STICKS?

The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any type of white fish that you prefer.

HOW DO I MAKE THE ALMOND COCONUT CRUST?

So glad you asked because this is seriously the best part!

The crust doesn’t require any complicated ingredients. In a shallow bowl, you just mix together the following:

• Almond flour
• Unsweetened coconut
• Paprika
• Garlic Powder
• Dried parsley
• Salt & Pepper

And then in another shallow bowl, beat an egg. Cut the fish into smaller strips that are relatively the same size (so they cook evenly) and dip each side in the egg mixture and then coat in the almond coconut mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Simple as that!
