🖨️ Print post

This recipe reflects the eighth of our 11 Wise Traditions Dietary Principles which is to include animal foods from both land and sea in your diet to balance omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Wellness Mama published a similar recipe with garlic powder, dried basil and parmesan cheese as seasonings. Dip the fish sticks in a Andrea Beaman’s probiotic-rich tartar sauce recipe.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb of wild caught cod
• 2 pasture-raised eggs
• ⅓ to ½ cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut 1 lb of cod into even strips.
2. Whisk 2 eggs.
3. Set up a two-step station: beaten eggs in one bowl, and coconut flour mixed with spices in the other.
4. Dip each piece in the egg, then press lightly into the coconut flour.
5. Cook in a hot skillet with coconut oil over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden, or bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

TIPS FOR COCONUT FLOUR

• The recipe calls for less coconut flour than regular flour because it absorbs a lot of liquid.
• Be sure to mix it with an egg wash well so it does not turn powdery or dry.
• Do not use a thick layer, or the coating will taste heavy.
