    Super Crispy Crunchy Fish

    Ingredients:
    * Parmesan cheese (finely grated from a can)
    * Almond flour (meal)
    * Golden flaxseed meal
    * 1 beaten egg
    * Cajun seasoning or seasoning of your choice
    * Fish fillets that are fresh or thawed
    * Oil for deep fat frying (I used Canola)

    How To Prepare:
    Mix equal parts of the parmesan cheese, almond flour and golden flaxseed meal in a bowl or pie plate. Season the mixture if you'd like with the seasoning of your choice (I used cajun seasoning). Set aside. Beat one egg in a small bowl and set aside. Sprinkle your fish lightly with the seasoning of your choice and salt and pepper if your seasoning does not have salt (I used cajun seasoning that has salt in the ingredients). Heat up your oil. Dip the fish first in the beaten egg and then carefully press the fish into the coating mixture on both sides making sure that the fish is well coated with the mixture. Fry the fish a few pieces at a time until golden brown. Your oil should be hot enough so that the oil bubbles fairly rapidly when you put the fish in the oil. Drain on paper towels. I served this with a fantastic dip...mayo mixed with cajun seasoning and minced garlic. YUM.

    Sounds good but you might want to consider changing out the vegetable oil for a good saturated fat oil/butter
