Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 filets white fish filets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup sparkling water, cold
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 lemons lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the fish filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free baking powder, and cornstarch.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the flour mixture, and stir to combine.
Pour the cold sparkling water into the flour mixture gradually, whisking constantly until smooth and a batter forms. The batter should be thick but still slightly runny.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Dredge each fish filet in a small amount of gluten-free flour to coat lightly. This helps the batter adhere to the fish.
Dip each filet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl, then carefully lay the coated filet into the hot oil.
Fry the fish filets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fish from the oil, and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish, and enjoy your gluten-free crispy fried fish filets!
