Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cod fillets
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 20 grams fresh parsley
- 1 medium green onion
- 1 large egg
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
1. Begin by poaching the cod fillets. In a medium saucepan, cover the cod with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Poach for 5 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Remove from heat, drain, and allow it to cool.
2. While the cod is cooling, finely chop the garlic, parsley, and green onion.
3. In a large mixing bowl, flake the cooled cod fillets using a fork.
4. Add chopped garlic, parsley, and green onion to the flaked cod.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, water, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until a smooth batter forms.
6. Pour the batter over the cod mixture and gently fold together until all ingredients are well combined.
7. In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).
8. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
9. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
10. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
11. Serve the fritters hot with lemon wedges on the side.
