Ingredients

  • 12 large clams shucked and cleaned
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
  • In a small bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and melted butter.
  • Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet. Spoon the almond flour mixture over each clam.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the clams are cooked through.
  • Serve the baked clams with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Ask your fishmonger to shuck the clams if you're not confident doing it yourself - freshness matters more than anything else in this dish, given how few ingredients there are to hide behind. Keto Swap: traditional breadcrumb topping is replaced with almond flour and Parmesan.
