Ingredients
For the Fish:
1. Fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
2. Almond flour or crushed pork rinds
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Optional: Lemon wedges for serving
For the “Chips” (Low-Carb Fries):

2. Olive oil

Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven or Air Fryer:
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer according to its instructions.

– Season with salt and pepper.
– Set up a breading station: dip each fillet in beaten eggs and then coat with almond flour or crushed pork rinds.
3. Cook the Fish:
– For baking: Place the coated fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is crispy.

4. Prepare the Low-Carb “Chips”:
– Toss zucchini or jicama strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
– Spread them on a baking sheet and bake or air fry until they are golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve:
