Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 100 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 50 grams gluten-free flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 500 ml vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor.
Add the garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the food processor with the fish. Pulse until the mixture is combined into a smooth paste.
Wet your hands with a little water and shape the fish mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the gluten-free flour in a shallow dish. Coat each fish ball lightly with the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each floured fish ball into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well-coated.
Spread the gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch in another shallow dish. Roll each fish ball in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). A small piece of bread should sizzle and turn golden in about 15 seconds when added to the oil.
Carefully add the fish balls to the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the fish balls are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried fish balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried fish balls hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
