Peanut-Crusted Fish

This Peanut-Crusted Fish delivers a delicious balance of rich nuttiness, warm garlic and ginger, and a satisfying crunchy crust while keeping carbohydrates low. Tender fish fillets are dredged in egg and coated with almond flour and crushed peanuts (or peanut butter powder for a lighter profile), then baked to flaky perfection in just 15 minutes. Packing 30–35 grams of protein per serving, it makes a quick, flavorful, and nutrient-dense main dish for busy weeknights.
