Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the garlic.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Cajun seasoning, and sea salt.

Step 3

Coat a salmon fillet with the egg mixture and turn to cover both sides.

Step 4

Dip the egg-coated salmon in the dry ingredients and turn to coat. Press down on the coating so that it sticks on. (Repeat with remaining fillets)

Step 5

Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Gently place the salmon fillets in the skillet. If they don't sizzle, the skillet isnt hot enough. Be sure the fillets don't touch.

Step 6

Cook fillets for 3-5 minutes or until the coating is brown. Turn fillets and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until done.

Step 7

Sprinkle green onion slices on top to garnish.
