Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 1 can (12 oz) Dairy-free beer
- 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step ensures the batter adheres better to the fish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add it to the dry ingredients.
Gradually whisk in the dairy-free beer, ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A candy thermometer can help maintain the correct temperature.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off before carefully placing the fillet into the hot oil.
Fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fish from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dairy-free tartar sauce or condiment.
