Ingredients 

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 TBSP HEBA® Supa-Seed Flour 30 grams
  • Seasoning of your choice Smoked Paprika and Onion Powder

Instructions

Prepare the Coating

  • On a flat plate, combine HEBA®, salt, and your seasoning of choice. Mix well to distribute evenly.

Whisk the Egg Mixture

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and baking powder until frothy.

Coat the Fish

  • Lightly pat the fish fillets dry. Roll each fillet in the HEBA® mix, then dip into the egg. Repeat once more — coat again in HEBA®, then dip back into the egg. This double-dipping gives an extra crispy finish.

Pan-Fry to Golden Perfection

  • Heat coconut oil or Holsum in a pan over medium heat. Place the fish skin-side down and fry until golden brown and crisp.

Flip and Finish

  • Gently turn the fish over and fry the other side until equally browned and cooked through.

Serve Hot!

  • Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel if needed, and serve immediately. Enjoy hot and crispy!

Natalie Lawson is a trusted voice in Mzansi’s real food revolution and an established author on all things keto, Banting, low-carb, and intermittent fasting, always with a focus on what’s practical, doable, and straight-up delicious. She's one of the powerhouse legends behind the Banting 7 Day Meal Plans Facebook group, where over 2.3 million South Africans (and counting) are taking back their health, one real meal at a time. Natalie’s journey into real food wasn’t just about weight loss, it started with a mission to help her autistic son through better nutrition: less sugar, more sanity. That mission turned into a passion, and before long she’d racked up multiple nutrition diplomas, a kitchen full of grain-free experiments, and a once non-verbal kid who now talks the hind leg off a donkey. She’s no scientist or celebrity chef — just a no-nonsense mom with a "beautifully blended bunch" of five kids, one grandson, and a fridge that’s always empty by Wednesday. Married since 2007, she knows how hectic life gets — which is why her food philosophy is simple: make it quick, make it work, make it kak-lekker! From moeg to magic, her lived experience, relentless self-testing, and no-BS approach to nutrition have helped spark a movement that’s shed millions of kilos and brought energy, confidence, and community back into Mzansi’s kitchens. Here at HEBA®, she brings that same fire — no jargon, no guilt — just affordable grain-free goodness that works for real people, in the real world.
