Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In the second dish, pour the unsweetened almond milk and add the lemon juice, mixing well. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Take one fish fillet at a time, dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then shake off any excess.
Dip the flour-dusted fish into the almond milk mixture, making sure it's thoroughly moistened.
Press the fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, covering it completely and pressing to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the heated oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free breaded fried fish immediately with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
