Soy Free Almond Flour Fish and Chips
Classic fish and chips gets a brilliant oven-baked makeover here, swapping the usual batter for a seasoned almond flour crust that crisps up beautifully without a drop of soy-based oil or filler in sight. Cod fillets get dipped in an egg wash, pressed into a smoky, garlicky almond flour coating, and roasted on a wire rack so hot air circulates all around them — the result is a genuinely crunchy crust that holds up on the plate. The chips are thick-cut russet wedges tossed in avocado oil and smoked paprika, roasted right alongside the fish on the same baking sheet so everything finishes together with minimal cleanup. For anyone navigating soy sensitivities, this kind of recipe is a relief — no soy flour hiding in the breading, no soybean oil in the fry, just clean, straightforward ingredients you can verify at a glance. The whole thing comes together in one oven, and serving it with bright lemon wedges and fresh parsley makes it feel like a proper pub-style dinner rather than a compromise. It's the kind of weeknight meal that genuinely satisfies a craving.
