Variations & Tips
For a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the almond flour mixture. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as dill or parsley, for added flavor. If you prefer a different type of fish, try using tilapia or haddock. For an extra crispy texture, consider lightly spraying the fish fingers with cooking oil before baking.
