Almond Encrusted Fish Steaks

4 wild caught Ahi Tuna, Yellowtail, salmon, swordfish, Mahi Mahi, etc steaks
1 cup finely chopped almonds or walnuts (or choose your own blend of raw nuts)
Sea salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Optional: fresh lemon juice
Optional: Egg

Preheat oven to 400.
Place fish in baking pan and sprinkle both sides with garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Then heavily coat each piece with your “almond-crumbs,” pouring any remaining crumbs between your pieces of fish. Dust everything with additional sea salt and pepper. You have the option to dip your fish in raw scrambled egg first, then dip into your “nut breading” to create a different crust texture. Bake 15-20 min depending upon thickness of fish and how well-done you prefer your fish. The juiciest preparation will flake easily and be very juicy.

I love to cook my fish in waterseal cookware (large pan with a lid on the stovetop). Add seasoned and breaded fish to cold pan, THEN turn heat on to medium, cover with lid, and let cook for 8-12min. Set a timer…It doesn’t take long. Your crust will be less crispy this way, but your fish juicier

Drizzle each piece with fresh lemon juice, and serve over fresh greens, wilted greens, cauliflower mashed potatoes, cooked sprouted or brown rice, or with any veggie side dish. Zach and I love any fish over sprouted wild rice (seasoned w coconut oil, sea salt, garlic) and CRISPY SALTY KALE or SWEET POTATO STEAK FRIES as a side. Make it a goal to get in 2-3 handfuls of veggies with your dinners (and you’ll poop better!!).

NOTE: Substitute other raw nuts or combine nuts for different flavors. Pistacchio with almond is yummy (NOTE: peanuts & pistacchios are not allowed on a Candida Detox Diet because of their mold content)
