LC Pan Fried Whiting

What to do with soy flour? I tried to make a loaf of low-carb bread and that didn't turn out as expected. So, I used it as breading and it turned out GREAT!

Whole portion is 16g net carbs.

Each serving is  2.7g net carbs,

Ingredients

6 Whiting fillets, or any flaky white fish

1 lg Egg, beaten

1/2 cup Soy flour

1/2 cup Almond meal flour

1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning, or seafood seasoning

1 tsp salt, to taste

1 cup Oil (I used olive oil)

Instructions

Rinse the whiting fillets, and pat dry. 

Combine in a pan the soy flour, almond meal flour, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. 

Brush the fish with egg. Lightly dredge the fish in the flour pan. Set each piece of fish aside to let them absorb the flour.

Add oil to a non-stick pan and set heat to medium, heating oil until hot.  

Cook the fish until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on plate.

Optional: You can transfer the fish to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you're frying the rest of the fish.
