Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound cod or haddock fillets
- 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch wide strips and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk until well combined.
Place the gluten-free panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Coat each fish stick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, roll the fish stick in the panko breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fish sticks in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fish sticks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish sticks from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy fried fish sticks warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
