Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each snapper fillet in the flour mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Shake off any excess.
Dip the fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumbs, pressing down to adhere well on both sides. Repeat with all fillets.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the snapper fillets to the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each fillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
