For any of you guys looking for a new way to cook up fish and make it tasty, I’ve got a recipe for you!
​
Fish tends to be one of those foods that a lot of people are just afraid to cook or honestly they don’t know how to. I find, that out of all the foods out there, fish tends to be pretty easy and hard to mess up. But just because you don’t know how to do it or are afraid to, doesn’t mean it should stop you from attempting it. Fish is actually one of the healthiest foods out there and a great staple to be added to any recipe rotation!

When shopping for fish, I tend to choose frozen now. Especially living in a land-locked area, where fresh fish is hard to come by, frozen is the best bet. But if you’re buying fresh, always ask where the fish is coming from and what day it is delivered to make sure you get the freshest. I also tend to do some research before buying to ensure that I am buying from a sustainable source. This way I know that the fishery is practising safe fishing practices in order to help keep our oceans alive and full of fish. There are many ways you can do this; different websites and non-for-profit organizations and looking for the certified sustainable seafood emblem on packages (like I do!).

This recipe was adapted from www.ladybehindthecurtain.com to make it gluten free for me!

Almond Crusted Cod
Ingredients:
½ pound (or 3 filets) of frozen (thawed)/fresh cod
1/3 cup all purpose gluten free flour (I used Cloud 9)
6 ounces of gluten free beer
½ cup almond flour
1/3 cup chopped almonds
2 teaspoons of thyme (fresh or dried)
2 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
1 – Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2 - Line baking sheet with parchment paper
3 – Place flour in a shallow dish or plate
4 – In another shallow dish pour the beer
5 – Combine the almond flour, almonds and thyme in a third shallow dish or plate
6 – Dip the fish into the flour, turning to coat
7 – Next, dip into the beer, then into the crumb mixture to coat
8 – Place filets on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil
9 – Bake for 4-6 minutes per ½ inch thickness (mine took about 20 minutes)
