INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

WHITE FISH:

  • We utilize cod, haddock, or tilapia because they provide tender and flaky meat. You can also use halibut or pollock.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize finely ground almond flour because it creates a crispy, low-carb coating. As a substitute, you can use sunflower seed flour.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan adds savory flavor and helps the coating become golden and crisp. You can use nutritional yeast if needed.

EGG:

  • The egg helps the almond flour coating stick to the fish. There is no major substitution needed.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • The egg mixture gains richness from the heavy cream. Unsweetened almond milk may be replaced instead.

OLIVE OIL:

Olive oil helps the coating crisp nicely. You can use avocado oil instead.

MAYONNAISE:

  • We utilize full-fat, sugar-free mayonnaise to keep the dipping sauce keto-friendly.

GREEK YOGURT:

  • Unsweetened full-fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang. You can replace it with extra mayonnaise or unsweetened dairy-free yogurt.

LEMON JUICE:

  • Lemon juice adds fresh and tangy flavor to the sauce. Use it in moderation to keep the carbohydrates low.
