Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cod fillets
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
- 1 cup Tartar sauce
Instructions
Begin by poaching the cod fillets. Place the fillets in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat and allow the cod to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.
Remove the cod from the water and let it cool slightly. Then, use a fork to flake the fish into small pieces and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well to incorporate the baking powder evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Add the flaked cod, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper into the batter. Gently fold everything together until evenly mixed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil with a small drop of batter; it should rise to the surface and bubble vigorously.
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the cod fritters hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
