Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 liter Oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into approximately 2-inch pieces.
In a bowl, mix the fish pieces with lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt, and baking powder.
Gradually whisk in the almond milk and water to the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter.
Heat the oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Dip each fish piece into the batter ensuring it is well coated.
Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove cooked fish pieces using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dairy-free tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
