Gluten Free Fish Ideas

There are many gluten-free fish ideas that you can add to your collection of delicious home recipes. Fish is high in protein and provides the benefits of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Gluten is also a protein but provides no essential nutrients and it can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. Cornstarch and rice flour are among the substitutes for gluten in fish recipes. Cooks in Connecticut can always rely on City Fish Market for fresh fish that will maximize the success of any gluten free fish recipe.

Risk Factors for Celiac Disease

A gluten-free diet is essential for individuals who have or are at risk for celiac disease. The following are among the common risk factors for celiac disease:

  • Type 1 diabetes
  • A family member has had celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis
  • Autoimmune thyroid disease
  • Addison’s disease
  • Microscopic colitis
  • Down syndrome or Turner syndrome

5 Reasons to Go Gluten-Free

Even if you don’t have cause to believe that celiac disease is a likely threat to yourself or family members, there are plenty of good reasons to try gluten free fish ideas, including the following:

  1. Gluten can trigger inflammation, which can aggravate arthritis and many other painful conditions.
  2. Wheat is one of the grains you avoid with gluten-free fish recipes, and wheat is a top allergen. You could be giving your system a break by avoiding wheat.
  3. Research shows that going gluten-free can reduce the antibodies associated with developing autoimmune thyroid disease.
  4. Gluten sensitivity exists among non-celiacs. Symptoms of gluten sensitivity include an upset stomach, headaches, irregular bowel movements, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, and numbness in the extremities, to name a few.
  5. The ability to absorb nutrients from your diet could be blocked if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

  • Meanwhile, add the egg to a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Add almond flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to a separate shallow bowl and mix well. Pat your fish dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat the 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil + 1 tbsp ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each piece of cod into the egg to coat, then into the almond flour mixture to coat. Place into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Take the potatoes out of the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 400. Push the potatoes aside on the pan, making room in the middle for the fish filets. Add the fish to the pan, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the fish flakes when cut and the potatoes are cooked through and crispy.

Tartar Sauce

  • Combine all tartar sauce ingredients and mix well. Can be made 1-2 days ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Top the fish with the tartar sauce. The potatoes are great with the sauce, too! Enjoy!
