Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F, and line or lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl combine: ⅔ cup cashew meal or almond flour, 2 tablespoon coconut flour, 2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon lime zest. Mix together thoroughly and set aside.
In a medium size bowl beat the 2 eggs together.
Dip a fish fillet in the egg wash and then gently press each side of filet into the nut flour breading mixture until coated. Place coated fillet onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fish fillets.
Bake uncovered at 400 F for 12 to 15 minutes, only baking until partially baked, as we are going to lightly fry each filet when done baking. *frying this without baking first may cause the nut coating to burn*.
Once fish fillets are done baking, heat the 1 ½ tablespoon of oil of choice over medium-high heat in a large frying pan on the stove top.
Once frying pan is heated, place partially baked fish fillets in fry pan and fry each side for only a minute or two just to sear each side of fish until coating is browned but not blackened. Remove fillets from pan.
While fish is frying, warm the all the garlic lime butter ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat until melted, and turn to lowest heat to keep warmed.
Spoon a little of the garlic lime butter over each fish fillet and serve.
