Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 pieces Fish fillets
- 2 items Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the spice mixture and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the water until lightly frothy to create the egg wash.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Dredge the egg-coated fish fillet in the flour and spice mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Shake off any excess.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
