Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.
Prepare three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the rice flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs thoroughly. In the third dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest.
Take each fish fillet and lightly coat it in the rice flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish fillets into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are completely covered.
Finally, press the fish fillets into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the pan. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the pan and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
