1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pour the avocado oil onto a large rimmed baking sheet and place it in the oven until the oil starts to shimmer.
2. Prepare Coating Mixture
Whisk together the crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a medium shallow bowl.
3. Prepare Egg Wash
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water to prepare the egg wash.
4. Coat Fish Pieces
Dip each piece of mahi mahi into the egg mixture, making sure it's well-coated. Then, dredge the pieces in the pork rind mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
5. Bake Fish Bites
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and give the oil a quick swirl to ensure it's evenly distributed. Place the coated fish pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 5 minutes, flip each piece, and bake for another 5 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Opt for fresh, high-quality fish from a reputable fishmonger. If fresh isn't available, ensure frozen fish is fully thawed and patted dry.
Heat oil to the correct temperature (around 350-375°F) and use a thermometer to check.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
Place the fish bites on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to keep the crust crisp.
Cut the fish into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
