For this week’s Friday Favorites pick, I’m reminding you about this tasty Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish recipe that produces some of the the best-tasting fish I’ve ever cooked! It was also one of the earliest fish recipes on the blog, without a single photo for many years!
When I first made this fish recipe with my nephew Jake to take photos for the blog, he was skeptical about whether he was going to like it, but when we ate the parmesan crusted fish with the homemade tartar sauce, Jake was completely amazed at how good it was.
This recipe is for fish that’s dipped in melted butter, then coated with a mixture of almond flour and Parmesan cheese and baked until it’s cooked through and starting to brown. Serve right away with tartar sauce and enjoy!

The almond meal and finely grated Parmesan makes a crispy coating on the fish that’s gluten-free and and low in carbs as well as being delicious.
What kind of white fish can you use?
Years ago I used to make this Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish with Tilapia, but now I’d prefer another firm white fish like Snapper, Catfish, Barramundi, Cod, or Haddock.
What kind of fish rub do I use for this recipe?
I highly recommend Szeged Fish Rub (affiliate link) for this recipe. I’ve used this brand of fish rub for years and like it so much I buy it in six-packs from Amazon and give it away to friends.

How to make Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- I used melted butter to dip the fish in so the coating would stick.
- In a shallow bowl mix together the almond meal, finely grated Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, and fish rub.
- Put the butter in one bowl and the almond/parmesan mixture in another bowl; then dip the fish first in the butter and then in the almond meal mixture.
- I sprinkle the almond mixture over and press it on with a fork.
- Costco had huge pieces of fish so that one in the back left corner didn’t get too much coating, but it still tasted good.
- Bake 20 minutes or until the fish is barely firm to the touch and the coating is browned and crispy on the edges.
- Serve hot, with Double Dill Homemade Tartar Sauce.

Ingredients
- 4 white fish filets, thawed if frozen (see notes)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 2 T finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. Szeged fish rub (optional, but recommended; see notes)
Instructions

- In a flat bowl big enough to hold the fish, mix almond flour or almond meal, Parmesan, garlic powder, lemon pepper or pepper, and Fish Rub.
- Dip each fish filet in butter, turning to coat both sides, then into almond mixture.
- Try to get as much of the almond mixture to stick to the fish as you can. (I pressed it down with a fork.)
- Bake 20 minutes, or until fish is firm to the touch and coating is turning golden brown.
- The baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish, so watch it carefully.
- Serve hot with Double Dill Homemade Tartar Sauce!
Notes
This recipe will work best with pieces that are at least 1/2 inch thick.
I’d probably use Almond Flour (affiliate link) for this recipe because I keep it in the freezer but coarser-ground almond meal with also work. I use Szeged Fish Rub (affiliate link) for all my recipes made with fish!
We ate this my Double Dill Homemade Tartar Sauce, but it would be tasty with any type of tartar sauce.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Almond and Parmesan Baked Fish is good for all low-carb and Keto eating plans. The original South Beach diet doesn’t recommend butter, but in this recipe you’re only eating the small amount of butter that sticks to the fish, and I would eat this for any phase of the South Beach Diet.
