Preheat broiler to low or medium heat. Using paper towels blot cod to dry. Season cod by lightly sprinkling with salt.
On a platter or dish mix 1/3 cup sliced almonds (crunching them to slightly break up), 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic, 1/4 salt, pepper (if using). Press the top of cod into the almond mixture. If any of mixture is left, press into cod. Place on sprayed sheet pan.

Notes

*My oven only has a Low or High setting for Broil. On Low, the cod was done in 11 minutes. Do not use High. It will torch the almonds on top.
