Parchment paper
Shallow dish
Mixing bowl
Fork

Ingredients

4 fillets trout 5 ounces each, 140 grams
1 cup hazelnuts 150 grams, finely crushed
¼ cup fresh chives 11 grams, finely chopped
2 tablespoons coconut flour 14 grams
1 teaspoon garlic powder 3.1 grams
½ teaspoon salt 2.5 grams
¼ teaspoon black pepper 0.5 grams
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons olive oil 60 ml

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the crushed hazelnuts, chives, coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well-mixed.
Dip each trout fillet first into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
Press each egg-dipped fillet into the hazelnut mixture, coating both sides evenly with the crust mixture.
Place the crusted fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle each fillet with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the trout flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Ensure your hazelnuts are finely crushed to achieve the best crust consistency.

If you have nut allergies, you can substitute the hazelnuts with a seed of your choice, like sunflower seeds, for a similar texture.

The trout can be replaced with other fish fillets like salmon or cod, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
