Ingredients

• 4-6 ounce pieces of cod (defrosted)
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup hemp seeds
• 1 tablespoon Cajun Creole seasoning

Preparation

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Fish:

   • Use a paper towel to dry the fish fillets.

3. Set Up Dipping Stations:

   • Prepare three dishes: one with coconut flour, one with the beaten egg, and one shallow dish with a mix of hemp seeds and Cajun Creole seasoning.

4. Coat Fish:

   • Coat one side of each piece of fish with coconut flour by quickly dipping it in the flour.
   • Brush the coconut flour-covered side with the egg wash.
   • Dip the egg-washed side down into the hemp seed seasoning mix.

5. Bake:

   • Place the coated fish pieces on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. For a crispier finish, place an oven-safe cooling rack over the parchment paper, spray it with cooking oil, and place the fish on top.
   • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.

6. Broil:

   • Broil the fish for an additional 3-5 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
   • Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Enjoy your delicious hemp seed crusted cod!
